Erin Donahue, Manager, Reform, Partnerships and Leadership Development, Leadership and Management Fundamentals Unit, Ministry of the Solicitor General. Erin is a dedicated transformational leader within the Ontario Public Service. She started her career with the Canadian Federal Government as part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police responding to calls threatening National Safety before joining the OPS as an Ambulance Communications Officer, taking life-saving calls from the public and providing emergency medical direction to those in crisis. From there she moved around the government, expanding her portfolio to include social services, management, provincial education on childrens mental and developmental health and trauma-informed care systems, legal and litigation, and project management. Along her career path, Erin dedicated her time and energy to creating sound leadership programmes, developing systems to enhance learning, build avenues for growth and bridging gaps to advance capacity building for staff and leaders alike.
