Aaron Fox, Q.C. and Heather Laing, Q.C. recognised with special honours

Congratulations to Aaron Fox, Q.C. on being awarded the Outstanding Lawyer Award by the Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers Association.

"The STLA Outstanding Lawyer Award, established 2016, honours member(s) of the profession who have demonstrated the ability and drive to go beyond the call of duty, whether for the benefit of their clients, the betterment of the legal profession or to further a cause of justice, in general, for the people of the province of Saskatchewan."

Congratulations to Heather Laing, Q.C. on being appointed to the Judicial Advisory Committee, by the Minister of Justice, Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould.

The quality and diversity on the Judicial Advisory Committees (JAC) are unprecedented and better reflect the make-up of this great country. For example, for the first time in history, Inuit members make up the majority of Nunavut’s Judicial Advisory Committee. Today’s announcement is a milestone towards a stronger, more diverse judiciary. I hope that exceptional candidates from diverse backgrounds will feel encouraged and inspired to put their names forward for judicial appointment. Judges with varied life experiences have an important contribution to make to our justice system.

The Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, P.C., Q.C., M.P.
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
