The Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association is a plaintiff-oriented organization dedicated to obtaining legal redress for those who have suffered injury or injustice, and to preserving the rights of the injured to full and fair compensation.... APTLA speaks with one voice on matters of concern to plaintiff-oriented lawyers and their clients. APTLA was formed with three fundamental purposes in mind : to form a network of like thinking trial lawyers who would share among its members their wealth of knowledge and experiences; to work to preserve innocent victims’ rights to tort recovery and to directly oppose tort recovery restrictions and work to correct the erosion of rights around the region; and, to establish first class skill-sharpening legal education programs which are inspirational, highly relevant, and impart to plaintiff trial lawyers skills and information directly related to their practices. 3, record 2, English, - Atlantic%20Provinces%20Trial%20Lawyers%20Association

The Canadian Association for Humane Trapping(CAHT) was founded in the late 1940's and received its national charter as a not-for-profit, charitable association from the Secretary of State on January 21, 1954. CAHT is a charitable, non-profit organization which works constructively toward abolishing the suffering imposed on wild animals by devices or trapping systems used to capture them. It is not a trapping, anti-trapping or animal rights organization. CAHT respects diverse philosophies and approaches while reserving the right to promote its own objectives. CAHT's mission is to abolish the pain and suffering of animals trapped for any reason. CAHT seeks to work with persons and institutions promoting humane trapping improvements benefiting wild animals and wildlife biologists, conservationists, the fur industry, governments and their officials, and to make practical progress to reduce and eliminate avoidable pain, suffering and injury of fur bearers. 1, record 6, English, - Canadian%20Association%20for%20Humane%20Trapping
