Have you ever felt the weight of waiting for justice? Imagine how it would feel to have your case heard sooner rather than later. Here’s the exciting part: Alberta is making strides to speed up access to justice for everyone!
Starting from November 17, 2025, Kimberley Goddard, KC will step into her new role as a justice of the Alberta Court of Justice. This is more than just an appointment; it’s a promise to all Albertans. Kimberley isn’t just any legal expert—she's been deeply ingrained in Alberta’s legal community, serving both as a frontline Crown Prosecutor and an Assistant Deputy Minister.
But here’s the thing: This move is part of a broader effort to fill vacancies and increase the court’s capacity. Since June 2023, the government has made 33 judicial appointments, and Kimberley’s appointment is a significant tick towards ensuring that all Albertans can resolve their civil, criminal, and family matters swiftly.
- Timely access: Justice isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity.
- Community impact: More justices mean more people’s voices heard.
- Experience matters: Kimberley’s background speaks volumes about her dedication to duty.
Imagine feeling a little less anxious about the future, knowing your concerns matter and are being addressed with urgency. Kimberley’s journey from Red Deer to the courtroom embodies the dream many of us have for a fair and responsive justice system.
So, if you’ve ever felt like the wheels of justice turn too slowly, take heart. A brighter, more accessible future is here, driven by passionate advocates like Kimberley who are dedicated to serving the community.
