Leith Robertson

Leith is from the Gold Coast, Australia and now calls Winnipeg home.  He is currently articling with Pitblado LLP, a large law firm that specializes in all areas of commercial law.

Leith is an active Rotarian, currently on the Board of Directors for the Rotary Club of Winnipeg, and serves as Secretary and Website Editor of World Peace Partners.  Leith began his involvement with Rotary International as an exchange student to Washington in 2002.  His other current commitments include World Community Service, Model United Nations Assembly and the Peace and Music Project, which he kicked off in 2010 at The Forks with Winnipeg's inaugural International Day of Peace celebrations.

Leith holds a BA (Journalism) and a LLB (Hons) from Griffith University in Australia.  In 2008 he studied human rights in Denmark, focusing mainly on the United Nations human rights system.  Leith's key legal interests include property, intellectual property and labour and employment law, though his passions revolve around human rights as well as indigenous rights.

Leith grew up in Durban, South Africa, and immigrated to Australia in 1994. He has lived on four continents and hopes to further both his international experience and commitment to peace initiatives here in Winnipeg.
