Petroleum Human Resources Council Of Canada: Cheryl Knight

Sector Council Dept: The Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada, created as a sector council to study industry labour needs in 2001, announced Monday that it will be acquired by safety training group Enform Canada, according to Calgary Herald. "The prime driver of this is the cancellation of the federal government's sector council program effective March 31," said Cheryl Knight, executive director of the HR Council, who will give up her title as chief executive and The end of the $17.5-million federal sector council program has forced the marriage of the oil and gas industry's safety and human resources associations in Calgary. The change will result in a staff reduction at the HR Council to eight from 13 as well as a reduced mandate as it focuses on its labour market analysis and careers information functions.
