Dana Schindelka is this year’s winner of the CBA Wellness Forum Award. A litigation and dispute resolution specialist with DLA Piper in Calgary, Dana has tried throughout his career to deliver – and live – the message of the importance of health and wellness.
He has served as Chair of both the CBA Wellness Board and the Alberta Lawyers Assistance Society’s board. In 2007, he co-authored a report identifying the need for peer support for Alberta lawyers, which became what is now a well-established program. As a writer he has contributed to SLAW and various CBA publications on behalf of CBA Wellness. The award was presented in Winnipeg as part of the CBA Wellness workshop.
