The Surrogate Rules, Alta Reg 130/1995, were recently amended to replace the existing NC forms with new GA forms and to permit electronic applications using a Surrogate Digital Service. Those amendments come into force on June 15, 2022 (see Order in Council 356/2021). Effective June 15, 2022, most surrogate applications must use the new GA forms and NC forms will no longer be accepted. LESA is pleased to host a half-day training session on the changes.
Surrogate Reform will be broadcasted live as a webinar on June 17, 2022. Justice C.M. Jones, Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta is serving as the chair for this program and will be joined by the following presenters:
Associate Chief Justice John D. Rooke, Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta
Justice John S. Little, Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta
Robert J. Anderson, Alberta Department of Justice
