Cumulatively with our firm for over 13 years, Angela is a Personal Injury Paralegal, but has worn many different hats over her legal career, and worn them well. Angela spent significant time working in indigenous residential school claims, helping settle hundreds of claims for survivors, after working with TRU Law in its inception (and as a professional home stager). With exceptional attention to detail and dedication to efficiency, Angela always makes sure everything runs smoothly. Genuinely caring for her clients, Angela frequently goes above-and-beyond to ensure her clients receive the very best legal service – she is a trusted ally, both professionally and personally.
Outside of the office, Angela dedicates herself to her family – with spouse, Kurt, they are often on the road supporting their daughter in her soccer endeavors. When at home, Angela enjoys expanding her culinary pursuits, being outdoors hiking, or spending time with family and friends, including her dog, Ginger.

First joining our team in October 2007 as a legal administrative assistant, Kim has been with us for over fifteen years. After completing her paralegal designation, Kim was instrumental in the formation of our Business Law administration team, which she now co-leads. While having the highest standards for a job well done, Kim uniquely balances her drive for precision with her ability to patiently mentor and train newer team members, always having time to answer questions. We’re grateful for Kim’s loyalty and commitment to our firm, and her ongoing insights which help our team function more effectively.
Outside of the office, Kim loves spending time with her family and friends, especially if it involves camping or mountain biking. If she’s not in the great outdoors, Kim is likely at the rink, honing her figure skating skills or volunteering at Valleyview Skating Club events.

On April 13, 2017, the federal government introduced legislation to decriminalize and regulate the recreational use of cannabis (otherwise known as marijuana) in Canada. The target date for implementation is July 2018, and during the interim provincial and local governments will be under significant pressure to develop and implement regulatory regimes for such matters as: distribution and sales, public consumption, minimum age restrictions, zoning and business licence requirements, fire prevention and safety protocols, to name a few.
One matter of some importance to local governments is the fact that storefronts (such as cannabis dispensaries and tasting rooms) remain unlawful unless and until the federal legislation is brought into force and/or permissive regulatory regimes have been adopted at the provincial and local levels. If the US experience is replicated in Canada, local governments can expect a proliferation of these cannabis operations, in advance of the legislative implementation.
Fulton & Company is offering two separate workshops: one intended for elected officials and one intended for senior management. Each workshop will:
- Provide a brief history of cannabis prohibition and legalization, both in Canada and elsewhere around the world;
- Discuss the intent and effect of the new federal legislation;
- Provide an overview of the matters that will be subject to provincial and local regulation;
- Discuss various strategies employed by other local government jurisdictions: What works?What doesn’t? What’s at stake?
- Explore options and strategies for your community.
Please contact Denise McCabe if you are interested in scheduling a workshop in your community:
