The Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch and the Vancouver Bar Association cordially invite you to the 39th Annual Bench & Bar Dinner at the beautiful Fairmont Waterfront.

This is an annual celebration dedicated to honour the remarkable achievements of our colleagues and acknowledge their outstanding contributions to the cause of justice, their communities and the province.

Enjoy dinner and networking with lawyers and judges as we announce the winners of the following awards:

• CBABC Georges A. Goyer, QC Memorial Award for Distinguished Service

We encourage you to invite your colleagues and other professional connections. 

This event is hosted by the Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch, located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam First Nations.
