Additional Information
I am a loyal and long-serving municipal government employee with a strong understanding of scheduling requirements in a unionized environment. These skills were acquired in my role as Recreation Business Coordinator where I managed the scheduling of the Aquatics and Arena staff at five locations, following the requirements of the collective agreement. As an involved member of Unifor Local 466 I also contributed to the activities of the union from a workplace health and safety perspective and in general collective agreement discussions. I am highly organized, service-oriented, excellent at multi-tasking, and very competent with software applications, especially Microsoft Office.
