On November 15, 2019 Kathryn Stuart will be teaching a session in Parksville on administrative law as part of Capilano University’s PADM Course in Municipal Law.

Ryan Bortolin will be attending the 2019 TOGLMA Conference, presenting on Rights & Responsibilities of Public Interface Workers. He will be discussing the responsibilities of local government, as a public service industry, to protect both their employees and the public.

Kathryn Stuart and Peter Johnson are returning to teach the Local Government Law course in the School of Public Administration at the University of Victoria for the Fall 2019 semester. This course provides an analysis of legislation and court decisions applicable to local governments in British Columbia. The course endeavors to provide students with a broad, general knowledge of the field of local government law; legal reasoning and how to recognize potential legal problems and understand and evaluate legal advice; and to demonstrate some of the ways in which local government law is used by the local governments to govern their affairs and to realize their purposes and objectives.
