Sean McAlister Service Recognition
Sean McAlister Service Recognition
In 2017, CCMTA dedicated its Recognition of Service presentation to Sean McAlister in his memory. Sean was well-known within the CCMTA community, having served as both staff and volunteer with CCMTA at various times throughout his career. Sean was a devoted employee of CCMTA in the late 1980s and 1990s, and then moved on to the BC provincial government in 2000 and maintained his relationship with CCMTA by serving as the BC member of the Drivers and Vehicles Program Committee. A respected authority within the compliance and regulatory sector as well, Sean’s consulting work post 2000 ensured he stayed connected with CCMTA and with the Program Committee on Compliance and Regulatory Affairs. Sean passed away on August 20, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer.
The Sean McAlister Service Recognition honours:
- an individual who has been an active member of the Board, program committee or project group for more than five years, upon their departure or retirement from a CCMTA volunteer position.
- staff members upon completion of 15 and 25 years of service, and upon retirement.
Recipients are recognized throughout the year upon their departure or retirement. If appropriate, recipients may be recognized at the Annual Meeting.
CCMTA has honoured the following individuals so far since June 2021:
- Tracy Bendera, Yukon
-
As an active participant in CCMTA activities for more than 8 years, Tracy has contributed to many key initiatives including but not limited to the work of the Canadian Driver Licence Agreement (CDLA), Commercial Truck Driver Entry Level Training (ELT) for Class 1 Drivers, and the Vehicle Strategy Overview Group (VSOG). Tracy also co-chaired and championed the work on modernizing NSC Standards 2-3-4. Tracy’s supportive and welcoming approach to the work of the committee, coupled with her responsiveness, and insight contributed to the successful completion of many important initiatives. In 2018, Tracy was recognized by her peers when she was bestowed with CCMTA’s Jennie Howie Government Member Award. Tracy will embark on a well-deserved retirement in December 2021. CCMTA members wish her much joy and happiness in her retirement.
- Doug MacEwen, Prince Edward Island
-
As an active member of CCMTA working groups since the 2000’s, Doug became a member of the Compliance Regulatory Affairs (CRA) Committee representing Prince Edward Island from 2007 to 2014, during which time he worked on key files such as PMVI, Hours of Service, Cargo Securement, Safety Rating and Reciprocity Issues. Doug chaired the CRA Committee from 2011 to 2013 and was the recipient of the Jennie Howie Government Member Award in 2014.
Doug joined the CCMTA Board of Directors in 2015, dedicating considerable time and experience as an ambassador and advocate for the important work of CCMTA. His work involved consultation, collaboration, and engagement at the Federal/ Provincial/Territorial table and with international partners in the US and Mexico.
Doug was Chair of the Board from 2019 to 2021 and has the distinction of being the first to hold two consecutive terms and host a virtual Annual Meeting due to the COVID-19 environment, rather than the planned location of his home province of Prince Edward Island.
In June 2021, Doug retired from his role as Registrar, Motor Vehicles, Prince Edward Island Department of Transportation, Infrastructure & Energy. While he will be missed in the road safety community, we wish him continued success in his retirement and future endeavours.
