“Don’t tell people your dreams. Show them.” Unknown

My name is Stacy McLaren and I am asking for your support to elect me as a member at large for the IT National Executive.

I am a very proud IT02 who works at Shared Services Canada and Regular member of PIPSC. I work hard, accept challenges, get tasks done, and try to be the best activist and steward I can be. I have been active and participated in many great initiatives for both the IT Group and PIPSC.

For me, the members of the IT Group have been and always will be a priority. I am committed to promoting the IT Group inside and outside of PIPSC.

The following are the most important reasons why I am asking for your support. If elected I want to accomplish the following goals:

  • To actively participate in continuing to shape the future of PIPSC and the IT Group so that we strengthen ourselves to fight back against contracting out.
  • To promote the IT Group and its members in the public and the workplace
  • To make sure that all member interests are listened to, as collectively it is the members that are our union.
  • To put all my hard work, skills and knowledge into protecting the future of the Group and Institute as a member of the IT Group executive
  • To represent you the members at the national level within the group and PIPSC.

I have actively participated as a member of the following executives:
