Lee Samis Award of Excellence Celebration

Each year Canadian Defence Lawyers hosts a luncheon or dinner in honour of the winner of the Lees Samis Award of Excellence. The celebration is an opportunity for the winner to include friends, family and colleagues in their recognition.

Canadian Defence Lawyers proudly arranges for the celebration meal, with ticket prices set at cost recovery, and several complementary registrations are provided for the recipient and their immediate family or close colleagues and friends.

The 2024 Winner Marcus Snowden graciously opted to forgo a celebration, and has instructed CDL to use the funds that would otherwise have been allocated to this event to address an issue or need identified by the Board of Directors.
