New additions at JM&A!

Observant visitors may have noticed a couple new faces on the website lately.  Alycia Shaw joined Jewitt McLuckie & Associates this past February, and Cara Ryan, who has been our articling student for the past 10 months, has graduated to Associate as of her very recent call to the bar this month. We’re delighted to welcome them both to the JM&A team as we continue to fight the good fight for labour unions and working people.
