The Mental Health Commission of Canada congratulates the Honourable Justice Edward F. Ormston, Chair of the Mental Health and the Law Advisory Committee. He was recently selected for the 2011 CPA Humanitarian Award by the Canadian Psychological Association.  

According to Louise Bradley, MHCC President and CEO, Mr. Ormston is truly a deserving recipient of this award, which honours people outside of the psychological profession who have significantly improved the psychological health and well-being of the people of Canada.

Mr. Ormston has diligently committed his passion, time, and energy to the creation of Canada’s first mental health court; to the chairmanship of the Consent and Capacity Board of Ontario; and to ongoing advocacy and teaching about mental health and
the law.
