The Government of British Columbia is appointing three new Provincial Court judges, including Kelowna lawyer Martin Nadon.

Since 2001, he has been Crown counsel for the Ministry of Attorney General, having conducted a range of trials in Provincial Court and Supreme Court. Having worked with people from all walks of life, Nadon attributes much of his success to understanding the lives of the people who go before the courts.
