Scott runs her own business, Karley Scott Consulting, where she drafts law, policy and strategic plans with Indigenous communities. She also works as an arbitrator and reconciliation coach, and carries out Indigenous awareness training.

Safinuk is a financial services executive with more than 20 years leadership experience, most recently as district vice-president of TD Bank Financial Group.

“Karley and Dale bring extensive experience to the board and a commitment to community service in their new roles,” board chair Chris Derickson said in a press release. “They will be valuable additions to our board.”

Several current members of the board of governors were reappointed to their positions, including Bob McGowan, Tina Lee, Juliette Cunningham and Shelley Cook. McGowan’s term expires next July, while Lee, Cunningham and Cook have terms that expire in 2021.

Other government appointed members of the board include Derickson and Gloria Morgan, the board’s vice-chair.
