David Theil presented at the CAI Canada V-CON(DO) 2021 conference, as part of a national panel which examined Capital Repair/Maintenance Obligations.
The session discussed how the tragic collapse of a condo in Florida has brought to the forefront concerns about how condos are repaired and maintained. Can something like this happen here, north of the 49th parallel?
The panel drilled down on the roles and responsibilities of condo corporations when it comes to maintaining, repairing and replacing common elements and assets of condo corporations in Alberta, Ontario and Québec. The panel also discuss how this vital work is planned and financed over the life cycle of condo corporations. Who determines what needs to be repaired/replaced; when, by whom and at what costs?
Despite our best intentions, research shows we all have it – unconscious, unintentional bias. Unconscious attitudes and beliefs are shaped by all kinds of influences – some of which we would not agree with or accept on a conscious level.
Yet, these unconscious thoughts influence decision-making and can have a profound impact in the workplace on talent management decisions, including recruiting and hiring. The key is to learn how to recognize your own unconscious biases as well as practical ways to interrupt them.
In this interactive DE&I leadership workshop, guest speaker Kathleen Nalty lead lawyers and staff through the following concepts:
- Unconscious bias – how it is formed
- Implicit cognitive biases and how to interrupt them
- 10 hidden barriers that cause higher attrition rates for attorneys in underrepresented groups
- How to recognize implicit bias in ourselves
- Specific research-based strategies for interrupting or mitigating individual biases
- What law firms are doing to fight bias at an organizational level
- Inclusion nudges and bias interrupters
- Specific changes in recruiting and hiring processes to interrupt bias
- Cognitive biases that are implicated in hybrid work models and how they can be addressed
- Development of personal action plans to interrupt implicit bias

David Levangie and Bonnie Fish were successful before the Veterans Review and Appeal Board on behalf of Captain Kimberly Fawcett.
After a 15 year legal odyssey, the Veteran’s Appeal Board released its decision granting full compensation to our client, Captain Kimberly Fawcett, for her injuries.
According to David Levangie, Capt. Fawcett’s lawyer through years of appeals and grievances:
“This has been such a long, hard-fought ordeal. She should never have had to have this fight because this was an institution that her poor family basically devoted their lives to. I think she felt a bit betrayed by the institution, and I think she fought as long and hard as she did because, not only did she need the financial compensation, but she felt there really was an injustice here,”
This decision was featured in the National Post article Soldier who lost her baby and a leg in horrific crash on duty wins 15-year battle with military.
