Leanne Dennis

Treasurer

I am a Chartered Accountant (CA) and completed my Chartered Accountancy with Ernst & Young in 2000.  I hold a B.A in Psychology and a B. Commerce from the University of Saskatchewan.  My work background includes several years in public accounting practice in Saskatoon and Calgary with both large and small firms.  I moved into the Private Equity market in 2001 as a Controller with Tri-West Capital Partners in Calgary for 4 years. I then moved into public healthcare when I joined the Provincial Health Services Authority in B.C. as a Business Analyst and promoted later to Finance Director.  I then worked from the home for several years bringing up two children.  In 2016 I purchased Uniglobe Travel Eastern Canada and in the spring of 2023, added the Western Canada region creating a national entity. I am currently a Director for Uniglobe Travel Canada, a corporate travel agency business that does over $1 Billion in annual billings.

My family and I are active members at the North Shore Winter Club.  The kids are involved in both boys and female hockey, junior tennis and various summer programs.  My husband Frank plays senior men’s hockey at the club and both Frank and I are very involved in tennis and enjoy pickleball and social events at the club.

I have been a Director at the NSWC since November 2020.  I have acted as the Chair of the House Committee and a member of the Finance Committee for the past three years.  I am also currently a member of the Facilities Committee as we plan and prepare for many significant capital projects. I have also been engaged recently with the Search Committee as we look for a new Chief Operating Officer.  I feel very fortunate to be able to contribute significantly to the Club that means so much to me and to our family.
