  Saskatchewan School Boards Association

  Employee Relations Policy Analyst

  One of my greatest successes at the SSBA was my participation in the creation of a policy brief on GST exemption for schools, universities and hospitals throughout Canada. The brief was presented to the Finance Minister and was eventually filed with the Standing Committee on Finance and was a part of the December 2006 report, “Canada: Competing to Win” as Recommendation 25. Using my research background I was also able to write policy briefs on diverse subjects ranging from Access Copyright fees to internal membership fee renewal.My other role with the SSBA was researching and compiling all labour data for all collective bargaining including provincial teacher bargaining.
