Colleen studied municipal and land use planning law while attending UBC Law School and has been working with local governments in British Columbia since her articling days. Called to the Bar in 2000, she has practised law as in-house counsel and as an associate with Murdy & McAllister until joining our firm in 2018. Her work involved regulatory analysis, bylaw drafting, and providing legal opinion on various local government topics. Colleen is a long time member of the Canadian Bar Association, and past Chair of the CBA-BC Municipal Section.
After attempting full-time retirement for just over a year, Colleen returned to work with us in 2023 on a part-time basis, with a focus on assisting local governments in the preparation of bylaws, including those dealing with animals, building, business licensing, cemeteries, council procedures, environmental protection, fire, noise and nuisance, parks, traffic, water, sewer and other local services.
