It was uplifting to have all of Hadford Defence Group participating at today’s Truth and Reconciliation Walk. Many thanks to Amanda Little Bear, from the Lethbridge Public Library, for organizing the event, and to Tom Little Bear for sharing stories of residential schools and for leading us all in a Blackfoot prayer.

Scott Hadford’s five-day Judge and Jury sexual assault trial ended when the jury acquitted the client after deliberating for only 50 minutes. Excellent work, Scott!

Scott and Heather visited the Lethbridge Soup Kitchen this morning to drop off a substantial donation of freeze dried fruits, vegetables, pastas, beans and legumes, rice, grains, chicken and beef, cereals and soup mixes. The staff and volunteers at the soup kitchen are amazing and it was great to work with them this morning! Guess how much this all weighed?

It’s that time of year again! Kids are back at school, yellow buses are running, and parent and student drivers create a lot of traffic congestion in and around school neighbourhoods. We urge you to drive with care.

Demerits can be more expensive than traffic fines. If you run into trouble with tickets and would like to discuss how you can reduce your fines and demerits, phone our Traffic Agent, Steffanie, at 403-380-1999.

This guy. As of yesterday, since the University of Calgary’s spring 2026 Faculty of Law convocation, he is Jackson Tiefenbach, Juris Doctor.

Jackson has been working with Hadford Defence Group since 2023, first as a law clerk, then as an intern and now, on the final stretch, as a student-at-law having begun his articles under Principal, Scott Hadford, in May 2026.

Congratulations, Jackson! We’re proud of you and thrilled to have you at Hadford Defence Group, where the hard work you’ve been doing just changes and becomes a different kind of hard work. Here comes CPLED - and we know you’re ready for it.

Congratulations to Justice Redman - Scott is pleased each time he has the opportunity to appear before him.

Author, athlete, advocate, educator, mediator, lawyer and judge, the Honourable Justice Derek Redman will receive an honorary degree at the University of Lethbridge Spring 2026 Convocation.

Throughout his judicial career, Redman has been a champion of fairness, accessibility and innovation. He created the Integrated Services Court to support individuals facing addiction, mental illness, poverty or marginalization. He supported the University of Lethbridge’s Chess for Life program for youth on probation and oversaw the expansion of Drug Treatment Courts from two to seven.

His commitment to reconciliation led to the development of the first Indigenous Justice Strategy by a court in Canada, created in consultation with Indigenous leaders and service organizations. Under his leadership, three additional Indigenous Courts were opened, including one in Lethbridge.

Celebrate Redman's judiciary leadership, dedication to public legal education and community service with us at convocation on Friday, May 29, 2:30 p.m. at the Co-op Centre for Sport & Wellness.
