About this Award

This scholarship was generously created by Emond Harnden LLP, a longstanding supporter and partner of the Common Law Section.

Emond Harnden has been privileged to work with several Indigenous communities on various matters over the years, and the firm has recognized a significant gap in representation of individuals who identify as Indigenous within the field of labour and employment law. Through engagement with the firm’s clients and stakeholders, it has become evident that there is a pressing need to support Indigenous law students with an interest in this area of law.
