The Hon. Anita Raynell Andreychuk, BA’66, LLB’67

A lawyer, former judge, and diplomat, Ms. Andreychuk has wielded tremendous influence provincially, nationally, and internationally. From her first legal practice in Moose Jaw, SK., she went on to serve as a judge in provincial court, chancellor of the University of Regina, and deputy minister of social services in Saskatchewan. Two years later, she was named Canadas High Commissioner to Kenya and Uganda and ambassador to Somalia and the Comoros before becoming ambassador to Portugal in 1990. That year, she was also named, the same year, as Canadas permanent representative to the United Nations Environment Program and the United Nations Centre for Human Settlement.
