Honourary Member Reception

On March 6, 2009, the CBABC hosted a special Member Reception honouring those who have continuously supported the Canadian Bar Association for 50 consecutive years or more. Canadian Bar Association B.C. Branch President Miriam Maisonville and National President Guy Joubert presented each Honourary Member with a CBA pin in appreciation of their support. Past-President Ken Walton, QC was on hand as MC for the event and is recognized as founder of the CBABC Membership Pin Recognition Initiative. Members who were not able to be present were named and honoured by the MC. Both President Maisonville and President Joubert gave heartfelt remarks to gathered members and supporters.

Honourary Memberships are awarded to any person who has been a member of a Law Society in Canada or the Chambre des Notaires for a period of 50 years and of the Canadian Bar Association for a period not less than 20 consecutive years.
