A Prince George lawyer is among 40 across the province who were appointed a Queens counsel on Friday.
Wilfred Dan M. Marcotte has practised in several areas of law beginning with litigation and a more recent emphasis on corporate, business, real estate and wills and estates.
He is a former instructor of law and economics at the College of New Caledonia.
Marcotte created e-conveyance, the first internet-based electronic real estate transaction platform.
He has been involved with many community and volunteer activities including Prince George
Hospice Society, Prince George YMCA and founding member of the Nechako Rotary Club.
Queens counsel is an honourary title give to lawyers who have distinguished themselves by their commitments to continuing legal education, community volunteerism and mentorship of new legal professionals.
After the call for nominations in August, an advisory committee reviewed applications and recommended candidates to the Attorney General. The appointments were made by cabinet through orders-in-council.
"The recipients of the honour of the QC designation have enriched the justice system with their contributions to the practice of law," Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said.
"They have demonstrated professional integrity and dedication to their profession and have made valuable contributions as volunteers to communities across the province.
"This is a highly coveted honour, particularly because the recipients are nominated by their peers."
