Dear Colleagues, 

After much contemplation, strong urging from my PIPSC peers, being a member of the Vancouver Sub Group, the Labour Management Consultation Committee (LMCC), and a steward, I respectfully ask for your vote to elect me as your Regional Representative.  

In my diverse role, I met and listened to members, presented their concerns to management and obtained positive results through grievances. 

Supported Group members in my organization nationally by reaching out to determine needs/concerns for resolution with management. 

During the pandemic, utilized effective virtual tools to reach-out/update the dispersed members. 

Goals 

  • To facilitate a new Subgroup in Whitehorse, revitalize the North Vancouver Island Subgroup inactive due to retirements. 
  • Encourage use of virtual tools, to allow virtual Subgroup formation at small and/or remote work sites.

  • Seek your support because I want to represent member issues on the collective-bargaining team.

  • Bring to the attention of National Joint Committee table need for improvements of health and dental benefits, increase annual limits, etc.

  • Support and assist transition to post COVID-19 work reality. 
  • Work-life balance including full-time remote work.
