GSNH LLP and Walter Traub would like to congratulate the Rt. Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, on his receipt of the Honourary Level 4 status and Lifetime membership in The Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI).
GSNH’s Walter Traub is long standing legal counsel and a member of the Board of Directors of CASI and had the privilege of presenting this award to the Prime Minister on February 28, 2018 at the Prime Minister’s office on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
In Walter’s own words:
“It was a moment to behold. The Prime Minister was larger than life, most engaging, charming and generous of his time. He made it seem as if nothing but CASI mattered at that moment. He spoke about CASI and its teaching methodologies from a point of knowledge and understanding. He was curious and genuinely interested in our Association. He congratulated CASI on the “Quick Ride” program, and his perceived merits of it. He accepted the Award with great humility and gratitude. He donned the CASI evaluator jacket presented to him and freely posed for photos. He was most gracious in accepting the award and thanked CASI for bestowing this honour upon him. He reiterated with great enthusiasm his love of snowboarding and how he would like nothing better than to get out on snow with us “Now”.
