Fredericton partner Britt Dysart, QC, has been recognized by Junior Achievement Canada with a National Volunteer Award. Presented at the Canadian Business Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, this accolade honours a strong commitment to community and a significant contribution to volunteer organizations.
Britt has been involved with the New Brunswick branch of Junior Achievement for 20 years and is currently the board of directors chair, having held a treasurer role in the past as well.
