Lerners has donated $25,000 to London Public Library (LPL) in support of its renovations to the Rotary Reading Garden. Originally the site of a parking lot, the Rotary Reading Garden opened in 2003, following the opening of the new Central Library in 2002.

As autumn settles in and the air turns crisp, Lerners embraced the season with a fall cleanup initiative. Fifteen firm members, led by our Environment & Sustainability Committee, came together on October 14 for a Fall Cleanup event at Harris Park.

Former Supreme Court law clerks and now Lerners LLP partners, Elizabeth Grace and Debbie Boswell, reflect on their time at Canada’s highest court as it celebrates 150 years of upholding justice, legal tradition, and public trust.

This event connects like-minded individuals, organizations, and businesses that are passionate about sustainability, and Lerners was happy to be involved alongside these environmental actors and advocates from across London.
