In 2017, CCMTA dedicated its Recognition of Service presentation to Sean McAlister in his memory. Sean was well-known within the CCMTA community, having served as both staff and volunteer with CCMTA at various times throughout his career. Sean was a devoted employee of CCMTA in the late 1980s and 1990s, and then moved on to the BC provincial government in 2000 and maintained his relationship with CCMTA by serving as the BC member of the Drivers and Vehicles Program Committee. A respected authority within the compliance and regulatory sector as well, Sean’s consulting work post 2000 ensured he stayed connected with CCMTA and with the Program Committee on Compliance and Regulatory Affairs. Sean passed away on August 20, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer.

After many years of dedicated service, Elizabeth Beecroft will be stepping down from the Road Safety Research and Policies (RSRP) Committee as the Yukon representative. Elizabeth is taking on a new role within the Yukon Government. Elizabeth has been a devoted member of the RSRP committee since 2008. She took on the role of Chair from 2017-2019 and most recently the role of Incoming Chair in 2023-2025.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Elizabeth for her hard work, and leadership throughout her time with RSRP. Her expertise and passion for road safety will be greatly missed. We wish Elizabeth all the best on the next phase of her career as she embarks on this exciting new opportunity.
After a long and exceptional career with the New Brunswick (NB) government, Cynthia will be retiring from the New Brunswick Public Service in February 2025. As the Deputy Registrar of Motor Vehicles with the New Brunswick Department of Justice and Public Safety, Cynthia has represented NB on CCMTA’s Drivers and Vehicles Program Committee for over ten years. During her time with the D&V committee, Cynthia has served on several working groups related to vehicles and vehicle safety, ignition interlocks, Canadian and foreign driver licensing, and medical fitness to drive. Cynthia is respected and valued by her colleagues across the country for her contributions to their collective work to maintain the Canadian Drivers Licence Agreement and the National Safety Code. While the D&V team and CCMTA community will miss Cynthia’s dedication and extensive knowledge on many D&V files, we wish her the very best on her well-earned retirement.
