Peter Sankoff, a criminal lawyer and University of Alberta law professor, said he was “delighted” with the news, calling Khullar the best judge on the court of appeal. Khullar herself was born at the hospital in nearby Fort Vermilion, a hamlet on the Peace River tied for the title of the oldest European settlement in Alberta. The family eventually relocated to Morinville, where Khullar spent most of her childhood before enrolling at the University of Alberta. She studied political science and eventually decided to attend the University of Toronto law school.
