On Jan 1, 2024, The Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of the Order of Ontario, announced 25 new appointments to the Order of Ontario.

The Order of Ontario - the province's highest honour - recognizes outstanding people who have made exceptional contributions to help build a stronger province, nation and world. Members of the Order come from all walks of life and represent various sectors of society including public service, business, journalism and health care.

Launched in 2022, and run by U of T Law Professor Sophia Moreau, Professor Zoë Sinel (Western University), Professor Jean Thomas (Queen’s University), and U of T Law Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Anthony Sangiuliano, the Tort Law & Social Equality Project (“TLSE”) aims to foster an awareness of the many inadvertent ways in which legal rules within tort law reinforce and perpetuate systemic social inequalities or, conversely, can be leveraged to help achieve equality.
