Savard, partner at Savards LLP, is a 39-year-old criminal defence lawyer known for being brilliant, uncompromising and—though she’d likely grimace at the assessment—eager to take on the cases of unsympathetic men, including Hedley singer Jacob Hoggard, fashion mogul Peter Nygård and Carter Hart, one of the players at the centre of the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial. To her, it’s a matter of ensuring that everybody, likable or not, rich or not, famous or not, has access to quality legal representation and a fair trial. She sees herself not as a lawyer for accused bad guys but as a defender of the rule of law. |

Opposition to the transit lanes on Bathurst between Eglinton and Lake Shore has galvanized local business owners under the banner of Protect Bathurst, a group claiming that the consequent removal of street parking will make shopping a nightmare for car-bound customers.
