Osborne Award in recognition of his "integrity, comity and beneficence in professional practice and public life." An article in Grand Magazine, titled "Consummate Gentleman," provided an interesting and insightful review of Mervyn's career, his family life, and the characteristics that have earned him the respect of his friends, peers and clients. Mervyn has a long and distinguished career of legal and public service in the Waterloo Region dating back to 1956. He served on Kitchener City Council for 15 years from 1964 to 1979 and spent 6 years on Regional Council from 1972 to 1978. He has also served on various Hospital and University Boards. Mervyn joined SorbaraLaw in 2001, and retired from the practice of law in 2016, after more than 62 years of dedicated service to his clients. Mervyn Villemaire. (2019). Sorbaralaw.com.
