Wellington County Committee

OJEN’s Wellington County Committee is made up of volunteers from both the justice and education sectors. It’s called the “Wellington County” committee because we’re based in the Guelph legal community. Wellington and Dufferin are in different judicial districts, with limited overlap between them.

Our committee is chaired by Justice of the Peace Thomas Stinson.
