We are pleased to share updates regarding the Women’s Advocate roles within the Western region at Air Canada. These appointments reflect the ongoing dedication and commitment of our members in supporting their peers.

We welcome Lisa Shaw from Customer Relations – Calgary as the new Western Region Women’s Advocate and Carolyn Steendam from Edmonton Airport as the Western Region Alternate Women’s Advocate. They will be stepping into the role previously held by Leanne Sookram from Winnipeg Airport. Lisa and Carolyn will continue the important work of amplifying the voices of our membership and strengthening our union.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Leanne Sookram for her years of dedicated service as the Western Region Women’s Advocate. Her mentorship and commitment have inspired and empowered countless sisters to get involved, leaving a lasting impact on both our union and our communities. While she may be moving on from this role, Leanne will always be a strong advocate for women in any capacity she takes on.

Please join us in congratulating Lisa and Carolyn on their new roles and in thanking Leanne for her dedication and leadership.
