Mr. Delamar is a native of Chilliwack. After graduating from Chilliwack Secondary School, he attended Trinity Western University on a President’s Scholarship. After a gap year spent abroad in Japan, he was accepted into the Faculty of Law at the University of British Columbia. While attending law school in Vancouver, he worked for a VC funded high technology start-up in Silicon Valley in a business development role. After completing law school, he articled at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP in Vancouver.

Mr. Delamar was called to the bar of British Columbia in 2004. Immediately after his call, he returned to the high technology industry with Raysat, Inc. of Vienna, Virginia, a maker of sophisticated mobile satellite systems and antennas. At Raysat, he was responsible for North American and Asian business development. After leaving Raysat, Mr. Delamar was privileged to fulfill a lifelong dream of working in the music business as the co-founder of a digital record label and mobile music distribution service based in Reston, Virginia and New York City.

After almost a decade of a peripatetic lifestyle which saw him commute between Vancouver, New York, Northern Virginia, Silicon Valley and Tokyo, Mr. Delamar decided to return full-time to the magnificent Fraser Valley and the practice of law, fulfilling a sincere desire to put down roots once again in his hometown with a view to making a positive contribution to life in the community.

Mr. Delamar joined Baker Newby LLP in March, 2009. His practice area is general litigation.

Mr. Delamar’s passions in life, outside the law, are politics, music and technology. In his spare time, he enjoys golfing, skiing and fishing amidst the incredible natural splendor of the Fraser Valley.
