He was a founder of the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CLEA) in 1970, along with some other Faculty graduates, and several of his Faculty classmates were very active in the early days of the organization.

Since 1998 he has resumed private practice with a focus on dispute resolution (mediation, negotiation and arbitration) and environmental law. He has served as Chair of the Environmental Section of the ADR Institute of Ontario, and is a Vice-Chair of the Workplace Safety & Insurance Appeals Tribunal.
