Growing up in Grimsby, I quickly recognized the\nwelcoming spirit and strong sense of community that is abundant in the Niagara\nRegion. Accordingly, having the opportunity to learn more about the law while\nhelping the community means a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing my high school years at\nGrimsby Secondary School I attended McMaster University where I graduated <em>summa\ncum laude<\/em> with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Justice, Political\nPhilosophy &amp; Law. During my undergrad I met many amazing people who\nreinforced my love for the friendly nature I\u2019ve come to expect in Niagara. I\nwas then accepted to Western University\u2019s law program and completed my second\nyear in the program this past April. Though Western does feel a long way from\nhome, the learning experience has been invaluable, as the school has many\npassionate and insightful professors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my life I have been heavily\ninvolved in music, and have been playing saxophone for the past 14 years. In\naddition to being a fantastic hobby, music has also allowed me to give back to\nthe community in many ways. In 2015, I put together and directed a jazz quintet\nto help fundraise for the Music for Matthew program, a program that provides\nmusic lessons to children who could not otherwise afford them. Most recently, I\nhave been selected as Chair of the Obiter Dicta committee at Western, which\nruns the annual end-of-year concert to raise money for St. Joseph\u2019s Hospice in\nLondon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might have guessed, I am a music nut,\nand am likely to talk your ear off about jazz, funk, or disco. I also enjoy\nhiking on the escarpment, sketching, and writing poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cannot thank Daniel &amp; Partners enough for\nthis opportunity and I hope my work with them will allow me to help those in\nneed and promote that sense of community I have come to know and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Kevin Bonneau and I am honoured to be working as a summer student with Daniel &amp; Partners LLP.
