Shauna-Rae Swanson

GFL Environmental

BIO

Hi, I am Shauna-Rae Swanson, Regional EHS Manager of BC for GFL Environmental Inc. Solid Waste Division. I graduated from the University of Alberta in 2016, Occupational Health and Safety. I then
successfully worked toward and obtained my CRSP in 2019. I am passionate about the protection of life and the environment which has aligned with my career. I am a safety professional that did not choose a
health and safety career but rather, health and safety chose me. I started my career as a Mental Health and Addictions Support Worker, graduating Valedictorian. Months after starting my social work career I
was approached to enter the health and safety industry, and I was surprised at my transferable skills and excelled in the health and safety industry quickly. I have now worked in Health and Safety for over 15
years. I volunteered for many years with World Vision and had the opportunity to travel to South America to work with children, and organized 5km walks to raise awareness and clean water for two
consecutive years to over 200 children in parts of Africa.
Before all other joys in life, I am the mother of two wonderful boys who keep my life and heart full.
