OBA Health Law and Elder Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: May 11, 2021

In July 2020, the provincial government announced a Commission into COVID-19 and long-term care. The Commission was mandated to investigate how the pandemic spread within the homes, how residents, staff and families were impacted and the adequacy of measures taken by the province and other parties. With the expected release of the Commission’s final report on April 30, 2021, the province will now review the report and begin to consider changes. Join us to hear insights from the Chair of the Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission, The Hon. Associate Chief Justice Frank N. Marrocco, followed by a panel discussion on the key legal issues that arose and are continuing to arise in Long-Term Care settings across the province.
