Surrey Bar Association – 2024 President’s Report
It has been an incredible year to be your president. The Surrey Bar Association has continued it long tradition of hosting regular “minglers” throughout the year. We have continued the Inns of Court Program into its third year. We hosted numerous Lunch and Learn Continuing Professional Development talks.
We were hoping to re-introduce the Bench and Bar Dinner but due to some scheduling conflicts, we were unable to make it happen this year.
This year also marked an unusual development with the government’s decision to move forward with Bill 21, a now passed piece of legislation that completely overhauls the Law Society of British Columbia. The SBA hosted a very well attended information session with the President of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia.
The Surrey Bar Association also continued a presence and voice on many relevant decision-making committees such as the Surrey Court Users Committee and the Mental Health Committee.
As your president it has been an honor to serve the members of the Surrey Bar Association. I would like to thank our members, hard-working executive, and partners in the local bar and judiciary for another successful year. I am looking forward to an even better year in 2025.
Joshua Krueger SBA President 2024
