We're proud to support the annual Douglas Coldwell Layton Foundation Lecture Series, which brings people together to explore important conversations around gender equality, social justice, and progressive public policy.

The series includes The Alexa McDonough Lecture on September 15th, honouring Alexa McDonough's legacy of public service and advocacy, in collaboration with the Alexa McDonough Institute for Women, Gender and Social Justice and Mount Saint Vincent University.

We're excited to hear from guest speaker Judy Darcy, former National President of CUPE and author of "Leading from the Heart: The Battles of a Feminist, Union Leader and Politician". Having worked with Judy on a significant labour relations matter in New Brunswick, we know first-hand the insight and perspective she brings to these conversations. Judy has spent decades at the forefront of public service, labour relations, and social advocacy, and her perspectives are sure to inspire thoughtful discussion.

In this article, Victoria Rees, KC, Counsel in our Halifax office, discusses why governance matters, the standards Boards should be guided by, and the practical measures organizations can implement to support transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making.

The recent decision in Lowe Estate v. Nova Scotia (Department of Opportunities and Social Development), 2026 NSCA 61, is a significant one. In finding for the appellant, a person living in his tent, and who had sought assistance on the basis that it met the requirements of being ‘accommodation’, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal provided important guidance on the application of the reasonableness standard and the interpretation of section 49 of the Employment Support and Income Assistance Regulations, with implications for future requests and eligibility for Enhanced Rate assistance.

Pink Larkin lawyers Vince Calderhead and George Franklin were proud to represent the appellant, the Estate of Bradley Lowe, on a pro bono basis throughout these proceedings.
