We are pleased to announce that CCPA's Executive Director, Bruce Campbell has been awarded a Community Leadership in Justice Fellowship by the Law Foundation of Ontario. The fellowship will allow Mr. Campbell to deepen his research on oil transport by rail, including regulatory failure behind the Lac-Mégantic disaster and avenues of redress for victims.
The Law Foundation of Ontario established the Fellowship in 2006 to provide a unique professional development opportunity to outstanding individuals who build bridges between community and academia. The Fellowship allows recognized civil society leaders dedicated to law reform, legal advocacy or the justice system, to spend all or part of an academic year at an Ontario law school, university or college in a legal or justice studies-related department.
From January to December 2016, Mr. Campbell will be hosted by the Common Law and Droit Civil Sections at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, as well as the University of Ottawa’s Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC). He will maintain his connection to the CCPA during this period.
