Back to Executive

Lynn Jones

Resolutions and Legislation


  

  

  

   

This is my first term on the CWL Provincial Council as Legislation and Resolutions Chair and I am looking forward to this new challenge.  With all the new changes happening to the CWL it will be an exciting time to be on the Executive. 

  

I graduated with a Bachelor of Administration Degree with a Major in Finance while I worked full time at EVRAZ (formerly IPSCO).  I started out in the Accounts Payable department and various other positions to my current position of Manager of North American Payroll.  When I moved into my payroll position back in 2000 I went back to school and got my Certified Payroll Manager plus several Certified Employee Benefits Specialist courses to help me with my new position.  I am looking forward to retiring at the end of this year after 34 years of working at EVRAZ. 

    

I was married in 1987 to my husband Gareth of now 35 years and we have one daughter Devon.  We are now proud grandparents of 2 year old Lucas and 2 month old Marcus. 

    

I have been involved at St. Martin’s Parish for many years starting out in Mr Schneider’s choir in Grade 4 and continue to sing at church to this day.  I also have been involved in Altar Serving, Ushering, Eucharistic Minister, Proclaimer and Gift Bearers. 

  

When I was on the Pastoral Council as Stewardship Chair back in 2009 I was fortunate enough to work on the 2009 Western Catholic Stewardship Conference in Regina with Lisa Graff.  It was a wonderful conference with participants from around the world. 

  

I held the Position of Pastoral Council chair for 2 years and still am on the council as Social Justice Chair for my second term. 

  

My CWL membership started back in 2005 when I came onto our council as a member and as Recording Secretary.  I have held various positions on our Parish CWL level and currently the CWL President.  I was on the Diocesan CWL for 4 years and worked on the 2013 National Convention Committee as Registration and Budgeting Chairs. 

  

In my spare time I love to read mysteries and I love to be in the kitchen cooking.  Most of my spare time now is spent with my two grandsons.
