The Honourable Sarah Stoodley, Minister of Digital Government and Service NL, is extending congratulations to several employees who recently received special recognition for their work.
The Motor Registration Division’s Newfoundland and Labrador Insurance Validation Program was recently recognized by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) with the 2024 Regional Award for Innovative Use of Technology. The award is presented to jurisdictions who have implemented technology tools that directly enhance access to services or the service experience.
The Insurance Validation Program, launched in December 2022, is a partnership between the Provincial Government and the Insurance Bureau of Canada. With technical support from the Office of the Chief Information Officer, the program applies a secure, effective and convenient digital solution to notify the Motor Registration Division when a vehicle’s insurance policy is no longer valid. Funding was provided by Transport Canada through the Enhanced Road Safety Transfer Payment Program (ERSTPP).
Earlier this month, the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) presented Deputy Registrar of Motor Vehicles Krista Cull with the 2024 Jennie Howie Government Member Award. The award honours a member who has made a significant contribution to CCMTA and whose primary role in their day-to-day work is directly associated with the coordination, administration, regulation and control of motor vehicle transportation and highway safety.
Also this month, Deputy Registrar of Motor Vehicles Lisa King received the King Charles III Coronation Medal for her exceptional dedication and contribution to safety in Canada. Lisa has served as a voice for road safety issues and training for several years, as a Board Member of the Canada Safety Council.
In addition to these external awards, Sarah Burgess, Manager of Strategic Business Practices, was recognized by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador with a 2024 Public Service Award of Excellence. Ms. Burgess was nominated for her enthusiastic and innovative approach to problem solving, and for consistently going above and beyond to understand the needs of citizens.
