Western Transportation Advisory Council

The Western Transportation Advisory Council (WESTAC) is a non-profit organization of major transportation organizations in Western Canada, represented by business, labour, and government decision-makers [1] The association was founded in 1973 by four western provincial transport ministers, Fred Peacock, Alex MacDonald, Leonard Evans, and Roy Romanow. WESTAC's present Chairman is Alberta's Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Transportation, Hon. Brian Mason. Oksana Exell is the President and CEO of WESTAC.

WESTAC also administers a website dedicated to employment in the transportation industry, a project originally designed to resolve the skills and labour shortage in the sector.[2]
