On June 19, 2020, SMP Law posted a video called "Wills and Covid-19" and described how we could do a virtual witnessing of wills and powers of attorney. As of February 16, 2021, it appears that the Government of Ontario is proposing amendments to virtual wills and power of attorney.

As Black History Month rounds to a close, I would like to emphasize the importance of acknowledging that focusing on Black history is not a one month a year thing, and it is not just Black history, it is SiMPly history. The more we view the historic acts of people of colour the more we can grow as a person, a community, and as a country.
