Shannon Metivier knows her new job will present some enormous challenges, but she prefers to think of them as opportunities.
Metivier is the new chief judge of the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan, which handles most of the criminal charges laid in the province and other matters such as bylaws, traffic court and small claims.
Justice Minister Gord Wyant appointed her to the role last year, and Metivier formally took the helm in March, almost exactly eight years after first donning the black robes with blue facings worn by provincial court judges.
In her new role, the former civil litigator plans to continue hearing cases while at the same time administering a court consisting of more than 50 judges, 13 permanent locations and 61 “circuit points” in small communities.
Died: May 11, 2021. NORMAN Lloyd, who has died in his sleep aged 106, had an eighty-year career on stage, screen and radio that saw him at the forefront of some of theatre and film’s most maverick moments. Blessed with a commanding presence that belied his slight stature, he worked with Orson Welles, Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock, and came into contact with other groundbreaking artists, including Bertolt Brecht, and composers Arnold Schoenberg and Hanns Eisler. In the 1930s, Lloyd worked on the cutting-edge of what was then described as social theatre. With the Theatre of Action collective, he was directed by Elia Kazan. It was there that he met his wife, actress Peggy Craven. They were together for 75 years.
