BRIEFS
Annual Meeting 2009 – June 19-20, Inverary Inn, Baddeck
The 2009 Annual Meeting probed the practicalities of a serious theme: “The Business of Law During Times of Uncertainty,” finding
room for opportunity and good news amid the challenges of the new economic reality. Gerald J. McConnell QC, of Etruscan Resources
Inc., tackled the topic in his keynote address, while panels explored everything from succession planning, stress management and
bankruptcy to fraud in the current global context. The mood stayed light with a number of leisure activities, such as a sunrise hike
led by new President Ron Creighton QC, culinary demonstrations and a riveting performance by Cape Breton’s own Raylene Rankin.
