    Justice Brian Weagant's Retirement Celebration

    4:00 PM-6:00 PM
    2022-05-19

    With another increase in Covid-19 and the present requirement that masks
    be worn in the interior halls of the Courthouse, we have now determined to,
    once again, postpone the celebration of Justice Brian Weagant’s
    outstanding career. We are now planning to meet in the outside courtyard
    at 311 Jarvis on Thursday, May 19th between the hours of 4 PM and 6 PM.
    Should we experience inclement weather that day, we will convene on the second floor of the courthouse.
    We are hopeful that with this further postponement we will be able to truly honour Justice Weagant in a celebratory fashion.
    Confirmation of the date will follow in the first week of May.
