My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. What you have described is a wrongful dismissal and you are owed severance. Further, you may also be entitled to human rights damages given the manner of your dismissal. I would encourage you to email me directly at stephen.gillman@stlawyers.ca so we can fully discuss.
