On September 12, 2013, Ms. Marie Cossette, a Litigation partner at Lavery, gave a conference entitled “Votre municipalité est-elle prête à faire face à une gestion de crise médiatique” (Is your municipality ready to manage a media crisis?) before the members of the Fédération. Ms Cossette’s conference was delivered in the aftermath of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy last July.
