Taking action on Reconciliation

The CBABC Reconciliation Action Plan guides our association in establishing priorities and activities to advance Reconciliation by and within the legal profession.

Reconciliation Action Plan

Originally approved by the Board of Directors in December 2022, the current CBABC Reconciliation Action Plan was extended in March 2026 through August 2027.

The Plan guides our Board in establishing priorities each year and our staff in executing annual operating plans. Progress is reported in CBABC Annual Reports.
