BC Notaries’ Education

This comment by SFU’s Dr. Rob Gordon sums up the success of this issue, “The Spring Scrivener holds an important historical record of The Education of BC Notaries.”

Our magazine is always a team effort.

In our Spring issue, articles that focus on our theme include • retrospectives on the MA-ALS from its birth at SFU in 2007, • Dr. Margaret Hall’s introduction to the current courses at SFU, • articles by the instructors about their specific courses, and • a piece about the challenging technical aspects of today’s course delivery.

Val Wilson Editor-in-Chief

All the educators are fully qualified, highly respected, and have comprehensive knowledge of BC law in their respective fields.

Many thanks to Dr. Hall for her outstanding assistance in co-ordinating the articles from SFU.

Thank you to all the writers in this issue!

Please stay safe and be kind to each other! s
