Women in Mining and Women in Nuclear Saskatchewan Inc. (WIM/WiN-SK) formed when the provincial chapters of Women in Mining and Women in Nuclear joined together.

In 2012, Women in Mining and Women in Nuclear Saskatchewan (WIM/WiN-SK) was born from a memorandum of cooperation between two national organizations: Women in Mining Canada and Women in Nuclear Canada.  However, one year prior is when our three FOUNDERS:

• Tabetha Stirrett
• Kathryn Black
• Véronique Loewen

These three leaders really began our story.   Read the article History and Founders.

Saskatchewan’s mineral resources create a strong link between mining and nuclear industries and bringing the two chapters together. Forming a stronger foundation for the organization to grow.

With our growth over the years, we have matured, we incorporated a non-profit entity, and the most recent change in our organizational structure to include a Board of Directors who is responsible for setting the strategic plan and our Executive Committees who is responsible for planning and executing the strategic plan set by the Board of Directors..

Annually, our Board of Directors meet to review and update our strategic plan. 

Through our strategic plan, we support the goals of our parent organizations and we are very proud to share our journey on the path to developing a stronger strategic plan which will enable us to grow as an organization.
