The government of Manitoba has appointed Judge Tracey Lord as Associate Chief Judge for the Provincial Court of Manitoba.

The appointment is effective July 2, 2019 after current Associate Chief Judge John Guy retires.

“Judge Tracey Lord has shown an unwavering commitment to Manitoba’s justice system throughout her career, first as a Crown attorney and later as a judge,” said Justice Minister Cliff Cullen.  “Her efforts related to access to justice and alternatives to the traditional criminal justice system have made positive changes in the lives of many Manitobans.  Her expertise and dedication will continue to serve our province well in the new role of associate chief judge.”

Lord was called to the bar in 1992 and served as a Crown attorney until she was appointed a Provincial Court Judge in 2008.

Associate chief judges are appointed for a seven year term that is non-renewable. Lord was recommended by the chief judge for the position.
