My name is Sondra Baker and I am your Advocate in Action!
 
I have been working hard in this role, ensuring your voices are heard and your concerns are represented. I recently returned from Ottawa, where I proudly represented HSAA at the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE). I have advocated for you by lobbying politicians at the Legislature, and while I was selected to lobby federally at Parliament Hill, the PM prorogued Parliament.
 
I show up. I take action. Because I know the sacrifices you make and the challenges we face together.
 
Our members are heroes—paramedics, social workers, therapists, lab techs and others, who strive to enhance the lives of Albertans everyday.  What we do matters and I will fight to ensure that you are supported. What is important to YOU is important to me.
 
My Experience
 
I actively serve as a Steward for Southport Local, a member of the CBRP Committee, CBRP Committee Working Group, and I was a founding member of the Indigenous Working Circle Group. I work hard in my union roles because I believe that action is where change is made. No one ever baked a pie by staring at the recipe ;) 

I have dedicated over 20 years to health care, starting on the front lines in Senior Care with home care delivery, Recreation Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy. Currently I work as an Educator with the Indigenous Health Education Team at the Indigenous Wellness Core. My team is deeply passionate about education—check out our latest courses on MLL under Indigenous Health Education.
