Cariboo Bar Welcomes Madam Chief Justice McLachlin Back to the Peace River Area

Members of the Cariboo Bar Association were pleased to have Madam Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin as their keynote speaker at this year’s annual convention held in Dawson Creek March 1-3, 2002. The Chief Justice and Mr. McArdle were warmly welcomed by members of the Bench and Bar in attendance.

The Association honoured Dennis J. Mitchell, QC, at the Friday evening social with a roast. Members of the Bench and Bar took the opportunity to recount embellished stories of Dennis’ career.

All in attendance enjoyed the convention. Next year’s convention will be held in Prince George, organized by President Andrew Kemp. It is hoped that the search for the missing McNeill Cup will be successful and that it will be returned to its rightful owners. Your assistance in the search for this much treasured and legendary Cup would be appreciated.
