Shawn practiced law in Saskatoon for a number of years and has recently moved back to his home town of Prince Albert where he continues the practice of law. Shawn said of move: “During my stay in Saskatoon, it never really felt like ‘home’. Every time I drove back to Prince Albert to visit friends and family, the feeling of ‘home’ was overwhelming. Prince Albert has always been a fantastic, culturally vibrant city, a community of great people, great businesses, great opportunity, and a bright future, and I am very excited to be home!”
