2021 CGCA BLG Stephen Sigurdson Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient
Congratulations to Ken Fredeen, GC Emeritus of Deloitte, the 2021 BLG Stephen Sigurdson Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient!
Ken joined Deloitte with a vision—to create a world class Office of the General Counsel. Ken led a team of 25 legal professionals, with General Counsel responsibilities for both Canada and Chile. A naturally inclusive leader, Ken deliberately embraced diversity, which allowed his team members to be truly comfortable and authentic in their work. He insisted upon fully accessible venues for off-site meetings and events, encouraged team members to balance their work and life responsibilities, and actively supported flexible work arrangements. A key trait of Ken’s leadership style is developing leaders at all levels within and outside the firm—in particular women and people of diversity. Ken was an early adopter of the concepts of diversity and inclusion, always leading by example and modelling inclusive behaviours. He was one of the founding members of the firm’s Diversity Council in 2006 and ultimately became chair. Ken was also the founding Executive Sponsor for two of Deloitte’s employee resource groups—the LGBTQ group (established in 2007), and the accessibility group (established in 2014).

2021 CGCA Bereskin & Parr Diversity Award Recipient
The CGCA would like to congratulate Gordon Currie and the Weston Group of Companies!
Gordon Currie and the Weston Group of Companies are the 2021 CGCA Bereskin & Parr Diversity Award Recipients. The Weston Group is Canada’s largest private sector employer and Currie leads a legal team of approximately 100.
The WGL leadership team has strived to make the WGL team a welcoming and inclusive place for people of all orientations, genders, ethnicities and ages, and to create a workplace that is truly reflective of the various backgrounds (whether cultural, religious, gender, etc.) of its customers. The emphasis on inclusion also includes creating a workplace that values wellness, and mental wellness free from stigma, in particular. As a legal department, the WGL team also believes that inclusion requires a commitment to providing pro bono legal services to help vulnerable Canadians access legal services.
Join us at the 2021 CGCA free of charge on Tuesday June 22 for a virtual celebration honouring the best in-house counsel in Canada.
