| Edmonton- December
31, 2001- Peter Wong was among the members of the Alberta bar
appointed as Queen's Counsel for the Province of Alberta announced
by Justice Minister Dave Hancock. The appointments are made by
the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
The following is quoted from the
Alberta Government News Release available at http://www.gov.ab.ca/acn/200112/11753.html
"Queen’s Counsel appointments are
announced every second year on the last day of the year. The
designation is an honorary title that recognizes selected
individuals for both their professionalism and contribution to their
community.
A committee made up of representatives
from both the judiciary and the legal profession screens the
candidates and makes recommendations to the Minister. A ministerial
committee then determines the final list and forwards that list to
the Minister and Executive Council for approval. This year’s list
includes lawyers from both the private and public sector, from large
and small offices, and from cities and towns across Alberta."
Everyone at Caron & Partners would like
to congratulate Peter on this achievement.
