In May 2021, Ng Ariss Fong received a Canadian Law Award!
We and several other firms were named the Gold Winners for Commercial Litigation Team of the Year (2021). The award relates to our work on the BC government’s reference to the BC Court of Appeal, and to the Supreme Court of Canada, on BC’s Environmental Management Act, and the province’s constitutional authority to require licenses for the transport of heavy oil through BC.
We were honoured to represent Heiltsuk First Nation, and to advocate for the better protection of lands and waters of Indigenous peoples in BC.
