Honouring The Honourable Donald Brenner, QC.

The Right Honourable Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, PC and more than 450 members of the Bench and Bar, including 19 Chief Justices, attended The Honourable Donald Brenner, QC Tribute Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver on January 21, 2010. This sold-out event was also a fundraiser event which equally benefited The Western Canada Society to Access Justice, Pro Bono Law of BC and the Justice Education Society. The dinner was hosted by the British Columbia Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, the Law Society of British Columbia, UBC Law Alumni Association and the Vancouver Bar Association. The evening was co-hosted by The Honourable Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and George Macintosh, QC of Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP.
