Grant McLean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grant McLean is a Senior Manager with the Government of Alberta. He is the former Mayor of the City of Airdrie and also a former Aide de Camp to the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.[1][2] He is an Officer in the Order of Military Merit (Canada) and in 2005 was awarded the Alberta Centennial Medal.[3]

Grant McLean took his employer, the Government of Alberta, to court for negligent misrepresentation in a matter relating to his pension. In 1982 he left the Canadian Army after 14 years of service to work in a senior management position with the Calgary Correctional Centre. He was assured in writing[4] by the personnel manager who hired him that his military pension was transferable to the province of Alberta's pension plan.[5] That turned out to be wrong. The case was mentioned in the proceedings of the Alberta Legislature.[6][7] The solicitor general's department did not comment on Grant McLean's claims.[8]

Grant McLean won his case on 13 April 2009.[9]
