Get ready to discuss, learn, explore and connect with leading experts, as well as your peers, from across
Canada at the CBA’s Charity Law Symposium. The Charity & Not-For-Profit Sections of the Canadian Bar
Association and the Ontario Bar Association are coming together to bring you this prestigious one-day
event.
While earning six hours of CPD credits, you will also have the opportunity to:
• Discuss timely trends and developments, including how the 2013 Federal Budget could affect your
clients, and effectively using Anti-Spam legislation to protect your clients.
• Learn exclusive updates to assist your clients, as the Canadian Revenue Agency’s Director General of
the Charities Directorate joins us for lunch.
• Explore challenging new issues, such as the roadblocks corruption and sanctions have on
humanitarian aid.
• Connect with leading in-house corporate counsel for a discussion on corporate challenges under the
CNCA.
You will not want to miss one of this year’s most prestigious Charity Law events. And for the first time
ever, the CBA will be live streaming this program for those who can’t make it in person.
Don’t get caught unaware – mark your calendars today!
Soyez prêt à discuter, apprendre, analyser et communiquer avec des experts reconnus, de même qu’avec vos

des organismes de bienfaisance et à but non lucratif de l’Association du Barreau canadien (ABC) et de
l’Association du Barreau de l’Ontario se rassemblent pour vous offrir cette prestigieuse activité d’une journée.
Tout en gagnant six heures de crédits de DPC, vous pourrez aussi :

toucher vos clients, et de l’utilisation efficace de la législation anti-pourriel afin de protéger vos clients;
• apprendre des nouveautés exclusives afin d’aider vos clients, alors que la directrice générale de la
Direction des organismes de bienfaisance de l’Agence du revenu du Canada se joindra à nous pour le
déjeuner;
• analyser de nouvelles questions stimulantes, comme les obstacles que constituent la corruption et les
sanctions pour l’aide humanitaire;
• communiquer avec des conseillers juridiques d’entreprises reconnus dans le domaine pour discuter des
défis que pose la Loi canadienne sur les organisations à but non lucratif pour les entreprises.
Vous ne voudrez surtout pas manquer l’une des activités les plus prestigieuses de l’année en droit des organismes
de bienfaisance. Et pour la toute première fois, l’ABC offrira en direct sur Internet ce programme à ceux qui ne
