The Alberta government has appointed six new provincial court judges — four women and two men.
Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley said the new judges help address pressures in the court system.
“Throughout their careers, these six appointees have demonstrated a mastery of the law, a respect for the justice system and a commitment to improving the lives of Albertans,” Ganley said in a news release Tuesday.
The appointees include Kristin Ailsby in Lethbridge.
