      We are happy to announce that today, the Government of Saskatchewan repealed the temporary emergency regulations related to remote execution of certain documents and wills and replaced those regulations with permanent regulations allowing for remote execution of documents via electronic means (i.e. video calls) to continue long-term beyond the end of the public emergency period.

Leslie Belloc-Pinder, Q.C., BA, LLB, President

Leslie Belloc-Pinder graduated from the College of Law, University of Saskatchewan in 1984. She articled and worked as a junior lawyer with McDougall Ready Wakeling for a couple of years and then joined Legal Aid in the Saskatoon Rural Office. In 1989, she began her 29 year career with her partners at Hnatyshyn Gough.

Ms. Belloc-Pinder’s practice focused primarily on civil litigation with an emphasis on child protection until her appointment as an adjudicator with the Indian Residential Schools Independent Assessment Process from 2009 to 2016. In that capacity, she travelled across Canada listening to the evidence of claimants seeking compensation for abuse they experienced in residential schools and writing hundreds of original and appeal decisions.

In other adjudicative roles, Ms. Belloc-Pinder chaired the Saskatchewan Farm Land Security Board for 10 years and was recently appointed Chair of the provincial Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeal Board. In 2016, the federal Minister of Labour appointed Ms. Belloc-Pinder to decide complaints under the Canada Labour Code and in 2017 the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change named her a review officer responsible to conduct hearings pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

Beginning in January 2018, Ms. Belloc-Pinder assumed a part-time position with Canada’s largest administrative tribunal, the Immigration and Refugee Board. She now sits as a member of the Immigration Appeal Division in the Western Region.

Ms. Belloc-Pinder was a sessional lecturer for both the Colleges of Commerce (in business law) and Law (in civil procedure) at the U of S for a decade. She has devoted much time and energy advocating for women and social justice initiatives with such organizations as the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) and the Saskatoon Women’s Network. She is also an avid athlete, and retired soccer team manager.

Within the Law Society of Saskatchewan, Ms. Belloc-Pinder was elected as a Bencher in 2015, Vice-President for 2018, and President for 2019. To date, she has served on the Ethics, Professional Standards, Conduct Investigation, Legal Resources and Justicia committees.
