John’s current practice evolved from a previous broader and general practice that
included litigation and labour relations matters. Prior to becoming a lawyer, John was a
member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 13 years, until April 1981. His
experience in the force consisted of general detachment work in Saskatchewan,
administrative responsibilities in the commercial crime branch in Ottawa, and
commercial crime investigation in Alberta. This background contributes to the practical,
common-sense approach he brings to legal matters.
