Christopher Rigg
Christopher (Kit) Rigg came to Canada in January of 1970 from the United States. Kit was a member of the United States Military but left the organization and his country due to his opposition to the Vietnam War. Kit initially settled in Hull (Gatineau), Quebec and found employment at an H&R Block branch across the river in Ottawa. After five months, Kit relocated to Vancouver in order to be closer to friends in Washington State. Kit lived in Vancouver from 1970 to 1980, during which time he obtained his Canadian citizenship (1975), finished his law degree and started practicing law. In April of 1996, Kit and his wife moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia after he was offered employment with the Nova Scotia Barrister Society to run their bar admission course.
