2019 Red Seal Award of Excellence awarded to Loreena Spilsted
Nov 19, 2020
Loreena Spilsted, former Chief Operating Officer of the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC), was selected by the CCDA as the recipient of the 2019 Red Seal Award of Excellence. The award is given once every two years to one apprenticeship authority or training provider staff member who demonstrates inspiring leadership in the development of and promotion of apprenticeship and skilled trades certification.
As a Red Seal Industrial Electrician and Red Seal Construction Electrician with global expertise, Loreena is a strong role model for youth and young women in the trades. She has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to supporting skilled trades and apprenticeship throughout her career by sharing her story at numerous speaking engagements, teaching apprentices, and providing one-on-one mentorship. Loreena is currently the Chair of the Board of Directors for Skills Canada Saskatchewan and works as General Foreman of Maintenance Trades at the Co-op Refinery Complex.
The CCDA was unable to present the award publicly to Loreena due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, Jeff Ritter, CEO of SATCC and CCDA member for Saskatchewan, presented the award to Loreena at a lunch in September.
Congratulations Loreena and thank you for all of your great work!
