Barbara Bednarski

The CFO has a critical role in the association and is responsible for reporting the EDA's financial activity to Elections Canada.

A retired teacher, Barbara has held a number of other related volunteer positions, including director/financial officer of a youth homeless shelter in Ontario and bookkeeper/office manager of a small dairy in Abbotsford.

The Treasurer oversees all financial transactions and fundraising efforts going in or out of the electoral district association. Their primary duties include budget planning, financial reporting, record-keeping, and managing incoming and outgoing funds.

She oversees the general financial management of the EDA, plans and keeps track of budgets within the organization, collects, deposits, and keeps track of funds, writes cheques, and provides financial reports regularly to fellow board members. Barbara is a financial watchdog, ensuring the protection of the association's funds. She is also responsible for reconciling bank statements, managing cash flow within the law, and helping with fund-raising efforts to better the organization's financial state and election readiness.

Winning requires a team effort. We need dedicated, hard-working Canadians to return Canada to a government of common sense, operating from a commitment to freedom, respect, fairness, and responsibility. And we are grateful for Barbara's policy of Canadians First!
