This conference has been held annually since 2015, providing networking and professional development opportunities for Crown prosecutors, attorneys and allied professionals across Canada. The goal of the conference is to facilitate the sharing of information and resources about animal abuse and the Violence Link in order to ensure that crimes against animals are prosecuted effectively and efficiently.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 conference, hosted on November 6th. We hit record breaking attendance and our roster of speakers delivered up-to-date educational information that will assist prosecutors and allied professionals when coming across an animal abuse file.
The 2022 conference details will be announced in the summer of 2022 for a fall in-person event date. If you would like to receive updates on this conference, which is the only one of its kind in Canada, please sign up here. You can also learn more about our work on our Criminal Justice System Reform Program here.
