Remembering Heather McArthur
Saturday’s Globe brought the sad news of the death of Heather McArthur, who Slaw readers may have encountered through her career in the Ontario Bar Association and in continuing legal education.
Heather had a strong interest in the use of technology to deliver CLE and was an early and enthusiastic backer of annual legal technology onferences in Toronto.
At the Ontario Bar Association, she had been, at various times, Director of Continuing Legal Education, Director of Technology, and Acting Executive Director.
She was warm, enthusiastic and committed. Our sympathy to her husband Paul Truster, who also has long been involved in legal information and legal education, and to her family.
She will be missed.
I shall indeed miss Heather. She was always charming, kind and wonderful at her job at the CBA(O) and OBA.
Many thanks, Simon. It was good seeing you again at the visitation. Angela: I remember walking with Heather on Queen St. East in the Beaches (or is it the Beach?) last year and running into you; thanks for your warmth and kind words as well. Paul Truster
