THE ADVOCATE 957
VOL. 79 PART 6 NOVEMBER 2021
• There is an exceptional survival of prehistoric monuments and sites
within the World Heritage property including settlements, burial
grounds, and large constructions of earth and stone. Today, together
with their settings, they form landscapes without parallel. These complexes
would have been of major significance to those who created
them, as is apparent by the huge investment of time and effort they
represent. They provide an insight into the mortuary and ceremonial
practices of the period, and are evidence of prehistoric technology,
architecture, and astronomy. The careful siting of monuments in relation
to the landscape helps us to further understand the Neolithic and
Bronze Age.
In September 2021, Kenneth Glasner, Q.C., FCIArb., received an award recognizing
his “significant contributions” to the Vancouver International Arbitration
Centre (“VanIAC”). Gerald Ghikas, Q.C., and Tina Cicchetti are
recipients of the VanIAC Award for Excellence in Arbitration.
At the Annual General Meeting of the Law Society of British Columbia on
September 24, 2021, the benchers passed the following resolution:
The Advocate – The Advocate per lawyer funding will slightly increase to
$25 per lawyer to provide funding for the operating budget to keep net
asset reserves at the current level. The Advocate publication is distributed
bi-monthly to all BC lawyers.
We thank the Advocate Superfans for bending the ears of their benchers
and getting us this far. We now welcome 2022 (our 80th year of publication)
with renewed hope. After all, this is no time to die.
