Navigating Freedom of Expression and Academic Freedom in BC's Public Post-Secondary Sector

February 17, 2026 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (PST)

Description

Registration is open to Presidents and members of your executive, labour relations/human resources teams, and other excluded people leaders in your institutions. 

DESCRIPTION 

Controversial issues, polarizing discourse, and global (and local) conflicts are not going away. Public post-secondary institutions must balance their critical roles of ensuring safe, inclusive learning and working environments, promoting students' learning and development, and protecting freedom of inquiry and thought. Lindsie Thomson and Rod Sieg from Harris & Co. will break down the complex legal framework that post-secondary institutions must navigate to find this balance and answer your questions on working through these emerging and important issues. Please join us for a webinar and Q&A.

This includes advising senior decision- makers in public and private corporations and large institutional clients, including utility companies, health authorities, universities, and colleges. Rod's practice is built on experience and solid relationships. He brings an appreciation of various sensitivities, an understanding of the history and relationships in the areas in which he practices, and a depth of understanding of the legal and regulatory environment. 

Lindsie Thomson is Harris & Company's managing partner. Lindsie's labour and employment law practice is a mix of day-to-day interaction with clients on labour, employment, and human rights issues, as well as representation of employers in labour arbitrations, labour relations board hearings, human rights tribunal proceedings, employment standards proceedings, and in appeals to the BC Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
