Welcome to the Lisa

and Mark Homepage.

 

 

Lisa and Mark are two funky, fun, fabulous, Torontonians (ie. we live in Toronto) Mark is an Ontario lawyer. He intersperses his internet addiction (or sometimes combines the two) with his work at the law firm of Blumberg Segal LLP also known as Blumbergs. Mark is very interested in the internet, Canadian law and of course Biltong. Mark recently launched a new website to help Canadian individuals and charities conduct global philanthropy and it is located at Global Philanthropy.ca Mark has completed an LLM (Masters of Law) in Tax Law at Osgoode Hall Law School. Lisa, the far cooler of the two (who has taken a little bit of creative licence since Mark made her write this) is the leader of this dynamic duo. She usually hangs out in a neat archive by day, not to be confused with Archeology!!! Which is also cool but a lot dirtier. Lisa has a Master of Archival Studies from the University of Manitoba. Lisa enjoys taking cooking lessons in her spare time.
