It is named after two of OJEN\u2019s founding board members \u2013 Justice\nFran Kiteley who represented the Superior Court of Justice and was the first\nBoard Chair, and Allan Hux, who represented the Ontario History and Social\nSciences Association. The award epitomizes the collaborative relationship of\nthe justice and education sectors that is fostered through all of OJEN\u2019s\nactivities.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Kirby-McIntosh was\nnominated by three of her former high-school students Daniel Lis, Matthew\nPatterson and Cain Humeniuk, now attending university in law-related\nprograms.&nbsp; Her nomination was supported\nby, Monika Mielczarek, a colleague who had been mentored by her when she was a\nnew law teacher.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Kirby-McIntosh inspired her students with her passion for law. In\naddition to her classroom teaching, she led numerous extra-curricular student clubs, including the\nmock trial team, social justice and advocacy groups. She is best known for her role in establishing the Charter Challenge\nprogram at Cawthra Park.&nbsp; This is one of\nOJEN\u2019s most challenging programs &#8211; a province-wide mock appeal competition\nbased on a mock judicial decision.&nbsp;\nStudents write factums in favour of the appellant or the respondent and\nthe winning teams on each side argue their case in a courtroom at the Court of\nAppeal.&nbsp; Ms. Kirby-McIntosh began the\nCharter Challenge program at Cawthra Park as an extra-curricular activity for\nher students several years ago.&nbsp; Cawthra\nPark teams have been consistently excellent, almost always making the\nsemi-finals or finals. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cawthra Park Charter Challenge teams continued to be consistently\nexcellent even after Ms. Kirby-McIntosh passed on the responsibility for\nprogram to other teachers.&nbsp; By the time\nshe handed it off, the entire school had embraced the Charter Challenge as an\nimportant annual event.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5640\" height=\"3760\" src=\"https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ojen2024.turnbull.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5640px) 100vw, 5640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as teaching Law,\nMs. Kirby-McIntosh often teaches Civics.
