Young professionals, are you able to freely express your opinions at the workplace? We are all called to build a Culture of Life but sometimes you might encounter awkwardness in the lunch room or at the water cooler over issues that are important to the flourishing of a society. Also, how would you handle a situation if you disagree with company policy or if you don’t subscribe fully to the prevailing opinions of our time?
You might recall what happened to the Google employee who was fired for writing a memo to challenge the company’s culture. Also, the recent TWU decision has revealed that fundamental changes are afoot in the interpretation of the law, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Constitution, and the judicial process. How do all these affect young professionals today? Come and get a better understanding of your rights as an employee and as a citizen.
We have an informed guest panel:
Julianne Yeager is a lawyer practicing exclusively in the area of employment law. She is a Christian, conservative, and TWU alumna. In her legal practice, Julianne advises and represents both employers and employees, and helps both to navigate through the Human Rights Code regime that governs all BC workplaces.

The YP Lounge is by the same creators as Catholic After Hours(TM)
The YP Lounge is a program of Vancouver’s Life Community, formerly Vancouver Right to Life Society, which is a non denominational organization and has been a registered charity since 1980.
The YP Lounge is a life and career mentorship program for young professionals in their 20s and 30s. YP endeavours to serve young professionals by highlighting the Life issues that affect their career, dating ventures, outlook on marriage and family, while in the pursuit of the common good to build a ‘Culture of life’ instead a ‘Culture of death’.
In 2019 we will be introducing a Mentorship Program which will feature a variety of successful mentors to help steer young professionals in their various careers.
Young professionals will have increased confidence knowing that human dignity, authentic freedom, happiness, and liberty and the common good are good things to pursue when philosophical truths, natural law, virtue, and universal principles are their guide.
The monthly events are presented by dynamic ‘talk show hosts’ and an informed guest panel who can address relevant issues and provide insights by analyzing pop culture, the frontiers of science, philosophy, law, medicine, ethics, political philosophy, religion and the social sciences.
