Away From The Office

During the summer Lucas enjoys hiking, camping, and exploring Alberta more generally. He is always looking for a new sport to try playing or just enjoy watching. In law school, he was a member of the Golden Bearristers Rugby team, and looks forward to putting on the boots as an alumni member going forward. During the winter he is an enthusiastic if very recreational curler.
