I am an incumbent CAPE EC Director and Director of CAPE Local 503 at Statistics Canada. My work starts with the workplace issues members bring forward.
Almost 30 years with CAPEStatistics Canada since 1997NEC term · 2024–2026
My record · 2024–2026
Priorities put into practice.
I ran in 2023 on better communication, transparency, greater member involvement and a stronger workplace focus. During the 2024–2026 term, I applied the same practical test: does this directly advance members’ workplace rights and interests?
Workforce Adjustment
Keeping job security on the national agenda
I ensured Workforce Adjustment became a standing item on the National Executive Committee agenda, so WFA, workforce reductions and job-security concerns remain regularly before CAPE’s national leadership, not only when a crisis occurs.
Return to Office
Pushing back on blanket rules
During this term, I pushed CAPE to push back against the employer’s Return-to-Office approach. I believe onsite attendance should be based on genuine operational need, with meaningful telework flexibility where that need does not exist.
Transparency
Supporting openness every time
I voted in favour of every transparency motion that came before me and submitted several transparency motions myself. Some were defeated, but the principle remains: members deserve to know how their union operates.
Financial clarity
Knowing the cost before voting
As a member of CAPE’s Finance Committee, I worked to ensure clear financial costs were attached to member resolutions so members could understand the consequences of proposals before voting.
CAPE has limited time, staff capacity and member resources. I believe its national work, including its time, money and advocacy, should be used only for workplace issues that directly affect members: working conditions, labour relations and collective bargaining.
I pushed CAPE to push back against the employer’s blanket Return-to-Office approach. Onsite attendance should be required where it genuinely makes operational sense, with meaningful telework flexibility where it does not.
I voted in favour of every transparency motion that came before me and introduced several transparency motions myself. Members deserve clear information about decisions, finances and the use of their resources.
CAPE’s current nomination deadline is September 1, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. I am seeking re-election as an EC Director for the 2027–2029 term so I can continue advancing member rights and workplace issues.
Please rely on CAPE’s official election notice for confirmed voting dates, times and ballot instructions.
Stay in touch
An EC Director shouldn’t only hear from members at election time.
I have stayed active in member social-media groups, shared NEC agendas and minutes, and asked members directly for feedback. If you have a question or a workplace issue you want to discuss, please email me or contact me on LinkedIn.
