On April 25, 2018 at the annual Ontario Bar Association Awards Gala, our Ed Upenieks received the OBA's Linda Adlam Manning Award for Volunteerism for 2018.  The Manning Award recognizes the outstanding volunteer commitment of an OBA member who through significant contribution has advanced the interests of the OBA and its membership and promoted the role of the legal profession in Ontario.  Clearly, that is Ed - the OBA's President for 2015-2016, a past OBA Director and executive committee member and a continuing enthusiastic, active - and vocal - OBA supporter and booster.  All of us at Lawrences are proud to congratulate Ed on this well deserved recognition.
