ALF Letter of Congratulations to Chief Justice Marchand

Dear Justice Marchand,

Len, the entire Aboriginal Lawyers Forum raise our hands to you!  Your appointment as Chief Justice of British Columbia and the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal of Yukon is so historic and so well deserved.  Your dedication to the community and service at all three levels of Court in British Columbia is inspiring.    Thank you for your efforts to continuing making our community and entire Province more equitable, fair and just.

The Aboriginal Lawyers Forum is so honoured to call you a friend and supporter.  We have been inspired by your presentations and keynote addresses to us at numerous events.  All our members are celebrating your appointment, and we know every Indigenous person in British Columbia is walking taller today and beaming with pride at your accomplishments. 

Congratulations and thank you for all your efforts to work to break trail for all the Indigenous law students, lawyers and judges that will come after you.  All Indigenous law students, lawyers, and judges stand on your shoulders and we are grateful to you.

This the best Holiday gift we could ask for, all the best to you and your family.

Yours Sincerely,
