WiCCD held another truly hybrid event on Oct 26 2023!
Justice Brock Jones and Emma Rhodes, with an expert from CAMH, were a great panel educating us on Youth Criminal Justice, serious violent offending, the YCJA and sentencing.
Maya Shukairy hosted this special episode of Who Cares? – the first in person session of WiCCD’s hugely popular YouTube series.
Some of us even got in some social time at the Duke across from the 10 Armoury New Courthouse!
Lovely to see so many colleagues, defence and Crows alike at this special event! Thanks to all!!
