Canadian Philanthropist Peter Allard Receives Award

Posted in December 29th, 2011

I saw on Barbados Free Press that Peter Allard, founder of the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary in Barbados, had received the honour of Queen’s Council.

I searched for more information and found this:

The Queen’s counsel designation is an honour conferred on members of the legal profession to recognize exceptional merit and contribution. Successful candidates demonstrate professional integrity and good character and must be members of the British Columbia bar for at least five years.

Later in the same article, I see that Mr. Allard heads the list of those receiving this prestigious award!

It’s interesting that Mr Allard was awarded this honour after being criticised to the extent that he was for forum shopping and other issues in the Kingsland case.
