Human Resources Department at Lakehead Orillia

I’m pleased to announce the creation of an Office of Human Resources at our Orillia Campus.

Please join me in welcoming Heidi Berry to her new role as Human Resources Officer – Orillia Campus, whose portfolio will include matters associated with Employee Relations, as well as Health & Safety, Security and Parking Services. Congratulations!

We expect a seamless transition, as Heidi has been fulfilling many aspects of these responsibilities following the July 2011 departure of our Assistant Vice-President, Administration & Finance in Orillia.

Heidi will report to Ray Raslack, AVP Human Resources.

Sherri Haleschuk will continue reporting to Heidi and hold the designation of Administrative Assistant – Orillia Campus. Sherri will serve as support for HR as well as the remaining Administrative Offices at Orillia.

Theresa Prisciak will also continue to report to Heidi and hold the designation of Senior Guard heading up Orillia’s Security Services.
