Cale is an experienced litigation lawyer. Prior to joining the faculty, Cale was in full-time private practice with a local Ottawa firm. His practice focused primarily on serious personal injury cases, long term disability and other insurance denials, and estate litigation. He has appeared in cases before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, various administrative tribunals, and in several other courts across the country.

Cale has been a member of the County of Carleton Law Association since 2009 and spent several years as a member of the Civil Litigation Conference Planning Committee. In that role, he assisted in the development and execution of the CCLA’s annual Civil Litigation Conference, which is one of the most coveted conferences in Canada. Cale has been a frequent speaker and moderator at the conference.

For over 10 years, Cale has been a member – and most recently Chairperson – of the organizing committee for the YMCA-YWCA’s annual Lawyers for Kids charity hockey tournament. This event brings together lawyers and legal staff from Eastern Ontario in support of the YMCA-YWCA’s children’s programs and has raised over $100,000 in charitable funds since its inception.

Cale began teaching at Algonquin College in 2018 and joined the full-time faculty in 2020. He is passionate about teaching and greatly enjoys sharing his legal experiences with his students.
