It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Victor Nabhan.
Victor Nabhan left an exceptional mark on the history of ALAI, both in Canada and internationally. A longtime member and one of the founding members of our association, he served as President of ALAI Canada for ten years and of ALAI International for twenty years, the longest term ever held as President of the International Association. He also contributed to ALAI's influence by hosting the Association's first congress held outside Europe, in Quebec City, in 1989.
His unwavering commitment to copyright law, his intellectual rigor, his generosity, and his leadership left a lasting mark on our association and on the legal community he served with distinction.
On behalf of ALAI Canada, we offer our most sincere condolences to all those who had the privilege of knowing him, working alongside him, or benefiting from his teaching and guidance.
We will remember him as an esteemed colleague, a builder of our association, and a passionate advocate for copyright.
