Al Kaylo has left the Northwest Territories Department of Transportation (DOT) after four years as Director of Road Licensing and Safety to return to the private sector. (Mr. Kaylo was also a Director of CCMTA’s Board.) During his time with DOT, he led several initiatives to improve road licensing services, notably the development of a portable issuing office used in communities without a licensing office and introduction of the new “Spectacular”-themed licence plate.
René Collette, an expert on fraudulent documents recognition who retired from Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) in April 2009, died suddenly on May 28. He was 56. In 2003, Mr. Collette was tasked with creating and delivering a Fraudulent Documents Recognition Training package for all Manitoba driver licence issuers. His expertise in this area earned him a seat on CCMTA’s Document Security Working Group, where he helped to develop a Canadian version of the Approved Verifiable Resource List, which sets Canada-wide standards for driver’s licence identity verification. Besides his work at CCMTA, Mr. Collette was one of only two Canadian Certified Chief Trainers for the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). His last position before retirement was Identity Verification Specialist/Fraudulent Documents Recognition Trainer with MPI. We extend our sympathies to Mr. Collette’s family and friends.
