Save the Date – March 10, 2026

Save the date for the CCIAWJ’s 2026 webinar celebrating the International Day of Women Judges, “Breaking Barriers: The Evolution and Legacy of Women on the Bench”. This special program will open with remarks from Chief Justice Richard Wagner and feature engaging conversations with Ontario’s Associate Chief Justice Michal Fairburn, Professor Constance Backhouse, and Canadian Bar Association National President Bianca Kratt, K.C.

Join our interviewers, CCIAWJ President Justice Mara Greene, and CCIAWJ Board Members Justice Indra Maharaj and Justice Avvy Yao-Yao Go, as they journey with our speakers to reflect on the evolution of women in the judiciary and examine the enduring influence of women judges at every level of court – from trial courts to the Supreme Court of Canada. This timely and inspiring discussion will highlight leadership, progress, and the continuing work to advance gender equality within the justice system.

The webinar will be broadcast on our website at 1:00 p.m. EST on March 10, 2026, and will be available thereafter on demand.
