Justice Gregan was also a member of the Nova Scotia Criminal Lawyers’ Association and served as Secretary for the Canadian Prison Law Association from 2011 until his appointment.

Justice Gregan’s community work included serving as a Volunteer Facilitator for the Parent Information Program, Department of Justice, and as a past board member for the Cumberland YMCA. He spent six years on the board for the Cumberland Community Alternatives Society, also serving as President for that restorative justice organization.

Arrangements for a robing ceremony for Justice Gregan are being discussed and further information will be available on this site when they have been finalized.
