Human Resources Chair Update by Marg Pike Since the last report, we have had changes in employee positions. Taylor Cassell, the Labour Market Facilitator with the Ready, Willing & Able Program, resigned his position and we welcomed Donna Norcott to the role on February 14. Best wishes to Taylor and Welcome Donna! The three Community Engagement workers completed their contractual positions in midDecember. Thank you Julia, Maggie and Raven. We really appreciated your work. It has helped us inform and connect with community groups. The Social Enterprise Phase 1 contract concluded on December 31st. Thank you, Tony. We look forward to the continuation of this work with you in Phase 2, which began on February 7th and will conclude on March 31, 2022. Employees started working from home on December 29th due to an increase in the Covid numbers and NL going back to Level 4. We took the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health and continued to support staff to work remotely and adjusted as necessary. With the restrictions lifting and alert levels changing, all staff are now back to the office. Inclusion Canada Newfoundland and Labrador Board were saddened to receive the resignation of Executive Director, Hope Colbourne. Hope has been a valued employee who has worked tirelessly for the Association. Her vision, leadership and creativity has helped us significantly on our many agenda items. We thank Hope and wish her every success as she moves to bring her many skills to a sister non-profit. We will miss her, but we are very appreciative of her time with us. All the best, Hope! With that, the Executive Board has begun the search for the new Executive Director of Inclusion Canada Newfoundland and Labrador.
