Conference presentation on social media
On April 14, René Paquette, a partner in the Montréal office of Langlois Kronström Desjardins and a member of its Education Law group, will deliver a conference presentation on social media during the annual congress of the Association des cadres scolaires du Québec, which represents senior executives in the education sector. His presentation, entitled "The heart of the activities of general secretaries, and others involved in communications, often has to beat to the drum of social media", will allow general secretaries and those responsible for school-board communications to better understand and master the power of school boards to intervene with their students, employees and even third parties.

René Paquette will deal with the entire range of rights, duties, obligations and means of intervention at the disposal of and incumbent upon school boards, as well as with the benefits of implementing a policy on the use of social media.

More than 100 people will be attending this event.

On February 29, 2012, the Québec Court of Appeal rendered a long-awaited judgment in the continuing legal battle between Canadian Royalties and Nearctic Nickel Mines concerning their respective ownership interests in a mining property in the area of the Plan Nord in Northern Quebec called the Expo Ungava Property (the “Property”). Situated just south of Xstrata’s Raglan Mine, the Property has been found to contain significant mineralization and is currently being developed by Canadian Royalties, which has invested in excess of $500 million in developing its Nunavik Nickel Project.
