Tom Molloy receives Saskatchewan’s highest honoured award.
Tom Molloy, Counsel to the Saskatoon office of Miller Thomson where he practices
primarily in the areas of Aboriginal and Business law, and chief federal
negotiator with the government of Canada
for almost 30 years, will receive Saskatchewan’s highest honour, the Order of
Merit, which recognizes individuals who have contributed significantly to the

claims settlements across Canada.
He played a leading role in the negotiations with the Inuit of Nunavut that led
to the creation of the Territory of Nunavut in 1999 and was a key player in commencing
Canada’s participation in the British Columbia Treaty Commission process.
Earlier this month, Tom was also
honoured with Lexpert’s 2012 Zenith Award.
