Laura Schattner

President

I have been a nurse since 2009. I completed Bachelor of Nursing at the University of Manitoba and Master of Nursing from Athabasca University. I worked on surgery, been a CRN and obtained my ICU credentials and I am currently working in ICCS.

I worked at St. Boniface Hospital since 2009 and became union active in 2013 as a unit rep and attending the MNU AGM as a voting delegate.

From there I have been elected to the Joint Education Committee, Nominations Committee (which I have chaired) the WSR Committee, Secretary for Worksite 5 since 2016 and have been a MNU Provincial Board Representative since 2022.

Renate Scheffer-King

Vice President

I graduated from College Universitaire de St. Boniface with my nursing diploma in 2009 and then received my Bachelor of Nursing with Honours from The University of Ottawa In 2010 as the programs were joint. I started in a casual position in 2009 then went into a permanent position from 2010-present at St. Boniface Hospital. I have always worked on High-Risk Labour and Delivery (now LDR).

I also have nursing experience and knowledge as an Operating room nurse (where I received my CPN (C). I started my union career in 2018 as a unit representative for the OR. I am currently the treasurer of our worksite as well as the WSR committee chairperson since 2018. I was the MNU board representative from 2020-2022 for worksite 5. While on the board, I was chairperson for the Discipline Committee and a member of the Nominations Committee. I look forward to representing our members at the worksite level.

Jocelyne Mann

Secretary

I completed my nursing degree at the University of Manitoba in 2012. I began working at Grace Hospital in the Medicine Program and then enrolled in the Manitoba Nephrology Nursing Course in 2019. I started working in the Renal Program at St. Boniface Hospital in 2020 where my interest in unionism was piqued!

I became a unit rep in 2021 and then was elected to the Role of Secretary in 2024. I am Chair of the WSR Committee and participate in the Nursing Advisory Council. I enjoy many aspects of unionism by participating in meetings, education sessions and conferences.

Janelle Mulaire

Treasurer

I began my career in healthcare at the age of 18, during my last year of high school. I worked as a HCA and eventually as a communications clerk while attending nursing school. Having had French education my whole life, I graduated in 2011 at Universite de Saint-Boniface and started my nursing career in the Emergency Room. I loved it.

I was using a variety of nursing skills daily. It was also there that I became active in the union as a union rep and various committees such as the workload staffing reports committee and the joint education committee. I became a part of the renal program in 2015 and that’s also when I attended my first AGM. I am currently the treasurer of our worksite, member of the nominations committee and work full time as the CRN in the peritoneal dialysis unit.

Tracey Busby

Executive Assistant

I have over 25 years of experience in office administration in both health care and working in a union setting. As an ally of nurses and the labour movement, for as long as I can remember, joining St Boniface Nurses in May 2022 felt like a very natural fit.

I am actively involved in my own union COPE342, as a trustee, and so I am lucky to view the role of the union from a variety of lenses.
