The Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University has inducted diocesan Vice-Chancellor Marian McGrath into the Bertha Wilson Honour Society, created to celebrate extraordinary alumni and their contributions to law and society.
A brief biographical profile written for the September ceremony outlined her distinguished career in the Department of Justice, where she held senior positions including general counsel for the Department of National Defence and deputy executive director of the Office of the Legal Advisor to the Canadian Forces.
“From her early career in public service to her ongoing voluntary efforts, Marian McGrath has been a beacon of selfless contribution. Her career encompasses roles in public service, law, charity, and non-profit sectors, where she has worked to address pressing social issues such as homelessness, poverty, and inadequate housing.”
Her pivotal role in establishing the Nakweyamadiwin Mikans (Friendship Trail) in Chelsea, Quebec, which crosses the property of her parish church Saint Mary Magdalene, was highlighted as well as her extensive work with refugees and her work with the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa.
