ADRIA again held its Annual AGM in a hybrid fashion on June 16th, with reception gatherings in Edmonton & Calgary, and online opportunities to participate for members elsewhere in the province. The evening featured a keynote presentation from Queens Bench Justice Anna Loparco, who outlined important Court Initiatives regarding Restorative Justice.

Three Board members left the Board in June, having completed their terms or relocated out of province: Barrie Marshall, Kevin Kelly and Ali Ansell. Each had contributed significantly to the success of ADRIA over many years, and each will be missed as the Board convenes for 2022/23. We owe them a great deal of thanks.
