ONLINE ZOOM MEETINGS We are going to explore the historical and social background of some of the intriguing, interesting and important legal cases which have had lasting impact on our society and affect our lives today. Each month we will have a presentation about some of these famous and fascinating cases, plus the opportunity to discuss legal current affairs. Legal issues and law cases will be based on current events and participants' interests.

Our upcoming topic in March is:
THE LAW SUPPORTING CANADIAN ARCTIC SOVEREIGNTY
Arctic Sovereignty is an important part of Canada’s history and its future. Given recent political-economic events, this has become a significant issue. Canada has 162,000 km of Arctic coastline. Forty per cent of Canada’s landmass is in its 3 northern territories. There is growing international interest and competition in the Arctic due to climate change, resource development, control of the Northwest Passage, and unsettled boundary claims. At the same time the Arctic is a distant frontier with an inhospitable climate, which only a tiny percentage of our population has actually seen or lived in. What is the legal basis for Canada’s claim to sovereignty over the Arctic? Can our claim be challenged? At our next meeting we will discuss the law which establishes and supports “Canadian Arctic Sovereignty”.
