Bowman, City of Winnipeg
Affiliations: Meritas
Notable mandates: Played an integral role in bringing the Chur-
chill rail line back to working order. Churchill had been isolated
since spring flooding damaged the rail line and forced fuel and
food to be flown in. Arctic Gateway Group Limited Partnership
purchased the Hudson Bay Railway, Port of Churchill and Chur-
chill Marine Tank Farm from OmniTRAX. Pitblado represented
OneNorth, comprised of the 17 communities and First Nations on
the rail line from The Pas/Opaskwayak Cree Nation to Churchill.
One North successfully negotiated control of MRLP, good terms
for its alliance with Fairfax/AGT and was part of the buyer group
that negotiated the deal with OmniTRAX.
Pro bono: Pitblado Law is involved with the United Way
Winnipeg, Legal Help Centre, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Winnipeg
Art Gallery, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and several other
outstanding not-for-profit organizations.
The firm: Pitblado Law is a full-service business law firm serving
local, national and international clients and has been operating
for more than 137 years. Pitblado is the result of the amalgama-
tion of several firms, and it dates back as far as 1882.
"Outstanding service," said one survey respondent of the firm.
Another said the firm was exemplary because of the "diversity of
service, quality of service, breadth or knowledge."
