the Nicola Tribal Association for four years. Following his term, Springford made his way to Kamloops — family in tow — to continue practicing law and to lay down some roots. In August, Springford will have practiced law for 31 years. He continues to help the next generation of team players, caretakers and thinkers, teaching business law and economics at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in Merritt — 30 years running. In his personal life, Springford has been married to his wife Colleen for 38 years. She manages the accounting affairs for their business, and together the pair has four grown children. Springford also enjoys spending some of his free time on the baseball field.
