No better way to step into Black History Month than attending the Julius Alexander Isaac Moot Gala last Saturday with some incredible Gowling WLG colleagues. Proud that Gowling WLG was the moot reception sponsor for such an important event celebrating young, raw Black excellence, hosted by the Black Law Students' Association of Canada. We’re in interesting times, and everything in the world feels so intense. But what if we all just loved our neighbors as (or at least almost as) we love ourselves? I really think it can be that simple. Black History Month is a time of commemoration, but love and compassion? That should be every day, every month. That said, I’m excited to celebrate the richness and diversity of Black culture all month long! If you're near McMaster University, a Black History Month launch is being hosted today (12-3 PM) at the McMaster University Student Centre—stop by if you can! #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2025 #SpreadLove #BlackExcellence
