“I am delighted that Nigel has joined the BCSC as vice chair,” said Brenda Leong, chairwoman of the regulator, in a statement. “He brings a wealth of business, financial and legal experience to the commission that will be invaluable in helping to guide our securities regulatory policy and decisions.”
Cave will hold his position at the BSCS until Jan. 31, 2018. He joins Brent Aitken as vice chairman of the provincial regulator.
