Shova Dhar for Atlantic Representative

I am a Senior Inspector (SR-02) working at CFIA in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I am originally from New Brunswick and have spent a lot of time in Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. I have worked for the Agency for 25 years, been a member of the S&A group since 2008 and am currently the Atlantic S&A GE Representative since the retirement of Gilles Gautreau. It has been my pleasure to work within this GE, learning as much as possible to do this work to the best of my ability. I have a strong interest in OHS as I have a laboratory research background. I am a strong communicator and an educator, having previously taught at the high school and university levels. I look to raise the awareness of our membership through outreach and education. During my time on the Executive, I have recruited 3 stewards (2 are currently stewards in training). My goal is to represent the Atlantic membership and to work in tandem with my counterparts across this country to advance the rights of our members. Thank you for your consideration to elect me to this position.
