The work is practical, important and unfinished.
I am asking CAPE members for another term as an EC Director so I can continue advancing member rights and keep CAPE’s national work focused only on workplace issues.
When I first ran in 2023, I spoke about better communication, greater transparency, more meaningful member involvement and a stronger focus on working conditions, labour relations and collective bargaining. Those priorities have guided my work throughout the 2024–2026 mandate.
I have consistently voted to keep CAPE national focused on workplace issues. I have supported every transparency motion brought before me and introduced several transparency proposals myself. I ensured Workforce Adjustment became a standing item on the NEC agenda. I pushed CAPE to resist a blanket Return-to-Office approach. And I have kept communicating with members by sharing agendas and minutes and asking for feedback.
There is more to do. Members should have clearer access to union information, better visibility into financial decisions, and a reasonable opportunity to vote on major decisions without mandatory meeting attendance being a prerequisite. CAPE should direct its limited time, staff capacity and member resources only toward the workplace rights and interests members rely on it to protect.
For me, another term is not about personal ambition. It is an opportunity to continue a consistent program of work: focused only on workplace issues, guided by members and open about how the union makes decisions.
For the 2027–2029 term, I will continue to:
- Keep working conditions, labour relations and collective bargaining at the centre of CAPE’s work.
- Press for RTO decisions based on genuine operational need, not a blanket government-wide rule.
- Keep WFA and job-security concerns regularly before national leadership.
- Support open union finances and clear costing of proposals before members vote.
- Make voting and participation more accessible to every member.
- Communicate throughout the mandate and actively seek member feedback.
The exact voting dates and times are those in CAPE’s official election notice.
