New Westminster Bar Association Festivities

On December 8, 2006, sixty members and guests attended the New Westminster Bar Association’s gala Christmas party at Hart House in Burnaby. Past President Samantha Hulme and Secretary-Treasurer Jim Fitzsimmons presided over the celebration. Generous door prizes were contributed by the Inn at the Quay, Guildford Golf and Country Club, McQuarrie Hunter, Cassady & Company, Goodwin & Mark, Findlay Gunnell Sandor, Dye & Durham, Westpac Office Supplies, Wendy Stephen, QC, Mainland Reporting, All-Star Reporting, The Hart House, and McEachern & Associates.

The association’s annual dinner to honour new judges was held January 16, 2007, at the Inn at the Quay in New Westminster. A good time was enjoyed by all, with 120 lawyers and judges in attendance despite the usual inclement weather. Court of Appeal Justice Edward Chiasson, Supreme Court Justices William Smart & Gail Dickson and Provincial Court Judges Maria Giardini, Maris McMillan and Stella Frame were welcomed by the group.
