Dec 19, 2023 | 8:00 AM

A criminal court judge in Grande Prairie has been given some new duties.

The province says in a release that Justice Andrea Chrenek has been named the assistant chief justice for the Alberta Court of Justice for the northern region.

Chrenek will serve a five-year term, starting immediately.

“With three decades of experience, Justice Chrenek brings a wealth of knowledge, legal acumen, and a commitment to justice that will continue the long-standing excellence of Alberta’s judiciary,” says Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mickey Amery in that same release.

Chrenek earned a law degree from the University of Alberta in 1993 and started practicing in Edmonton before coming to Grande Prairie to practice in 1996.
