AI is already part of the workplace, whether employers have formally introduced it or not.

Employees are using AI to draft emails, summarize documents, screen information and support day-to-day decisions. For HR teams, that raises some important questions around privacy, confidentiality, bias, employee oversight and workplace policy.

In our next Coffee + Counsel webinar, Laura MacFarlane, Joël Michaud, Evie Maldonado and Austin Ward will discuss what HR professionals should be thinking about as AI use continues to grow, including “shadow AI,” responsible use policies, governance and practical internal safeguards.

Bring your coffee, lunch and questions. This is an open Q+A, and we want to hear what your organization is dealing with.

An Alberta court upheld dismissal for cause where a senior executive falsely claimed to be pursuing an MBA. The Court found the misrepresentation was intentional, material to the role, and undermined the trust essential to an executive position.

As Daisy Feehan explains, employers are entitled to rely on resume representations and need not independently verify credentials before acting on dishonesty, particularly for senior hires.

Congratulations to Mara Stirling on her call to the Bar! ⚖️

Mara brings a unique perspective to her legal practice, shaped by her previous experience in finance and business development with Calgary-based start-ups. Her strong analytical thinking, clear communication and practical approach to complex problems have been evident throughout her journey to becoming a lawyer.

During law school, Mara volunteered with Student Legal Assistance and Pro Bono Students Canada, served as Vice President Finance of the Health Law Association, and competed in the McGillivray Moot, where she and her partner took first place.

We’re proud to celebrate this important milestone with Mara and look forward to seeing her continue to grow in her practice at Field Law.

Please join us in congratulating Mara! 🎉

08/31/2026

Emotional support animal claims are creating increasing tension between condominium no‑pet bylaws and human rights obligations in Alberta, and, if recent conference chatter is any indication, sometimes raising the spectre of animals no one ever imagined sharing the elevator. Recent decisions from Ontario and Alberta highlight that while legitimate accommodation requests must be taken seriously, condominium corporations are also entitled to request credible supporting documentation and assess claims individually.

As Erin Berney explains, courts and tribunals are continuing to emphasize that accommodation is a shared process requiring cooperation, fairness, evidence, and meaningful dialogue. Human rights obligations do not automatically override condominium bylaws, but boards that fail to approach accommodation requests reasonably and compassionately may face significant legal and financial consequences.

The takeaway for Alberta boards and owners is simple: treat accommodation requests with respect and rigour, because while the chicken may be a joke (at least for now), the legal risks are not.
