"We have a busy year planned, but we are so grateful to provide a place for Indigenous lawyers, law students and law graduates to come together. We are stronger together and look forward to seeing you at the next ALF event!" - Christina J. Cook, ALF Chair 2024/25

“As we continue to foster a sense of community, support and growth within ALF, I invite each of you to actively participate in our upcoming events and initiatives. Your involvement strengthens the fabric of our organization and contributes to the flourishing of Indigenous legal professionals. Wishing you all a prosperous and fulfilling quarter ahead.” — Michelle Casavant, ALF Co-Chair

“I’m thrilled to be one of the incoming Co-Chairs of the Aboriginal Lawyers Forum (“ALF”). Christina J. Cook and I are so excited for the upcoming year...Since its inception, ALF has continued to grow and have a deeper and more meaningful presence in CBABC and the broader legal community.” — Michelle Casavant, ALF Co-Chair

"As we reflect on 2022 and contemplate the new year, it is worth taking stock of some of the tremendous accomplishments of the last year." - Randy Robinson, ALF Chair

"The Aboriginal Lawyers Forum (ALF) is pleased to welcome its incoming Executive as well as new and existing Membership to the 2021-2022 year. The past year has presented our profession with both tragic news and tremendous milestones. The resilience and commitment of our Executive and Membership has carried us through." - Randy Robinson, ALF Chair

At the time of this issue we are in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. Words cannot convey the unprecedented significance of this global situation. The ALF sends love and encouragement to all. Let us each do our part to isolate and distance ourselves in order to starve out the virus and flatten the curve. I am looking forward to the biggest group hug ever when we come out on the other side of this. Until then, take care everyone.
