This year’s keynote address will be delivered by the Honourable Arif Virani, P.C., K.C., Senior Counsel at Torys LLP and former Minister of Justice and Attorney General. Mr. Virani's career has spanned litigation, public policy and government leadership.

The Gala is a chance to celebrate that community and the people helping it grow.
