OTTAWA—Supreme Court Justice Clement Gascon is retiring in September after five years on the high court.

 

Gascon, 58, is stepping down for personal and family reasons, the court announced on April 15.

 

His Sept. 15 departure will create an opening for a judge from Quebec on the nine-member court.

 

Chief Justice Richard Wagner praised Gascon’s thoughtful, rigorous and collegial approach, saying it helped the court get to the heart of complex issues.

 

“He has served Canadians with integrity and wisdom,” Wagner said in a news release. “All of his colleagues will miss his commitment and friendship.”
