WeirFoulds is honoured to announce that in the memory of our Partner, colleague and dear friend, Barnet Kussner (“Barney”), we have established the Barnet H. Kussner Memorial Award at the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto. The bursary will be awarded to a fulltime student at the University’s Faculty of Law with a focus on municipal and planning law. The University of Toronto is committed to honouring Barney’s legacy and will match, through its Boundless Promise Matching, income generated by the gift in perpetuity.
