|Sarah Murdoch was recently named Senior Director, Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative at Fisheries and Oceans Canada.  Prior to this, she was  Regional Director, Policy & Economic Analysis Branch for Pacific Region at Fisheries and Oceans Canada since September 2016. Her work has included leading responses to the Cohen Commission into the Declines of Fraser Salmon and launch of a five-year wild salmon policy implementation plan, the creation of the joint federal-provincial BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund, and development of the post-emergency response to the Big Bar Landslide.  

|I started my public service career in 2004 as a co-op student at Environment Canada, where I worked on national and international policy.  I later joined Public Services and Procurement Canada (2011) as the Manager of the Montreal Ministers Regional Office.  I have been the Director of the Ministers Regional Offices Program, now with the Privy Council Office, since 2017, leading 40+ employees across the country. I am a lifelong learner, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Environment and Development from McGill, a Master’s degree in Public Policy and Public Administration and a Professional and Personal Coaching Certificate from Concordia University.   I am passionate about people and creating a high functioning work environment.  I am always looking for opportunities that allow me to expand my knowledge and competency as a leader.  Through coaching and mentoring, I hope to help employees, like you, get clarity about what they want and inspire them achieve their goals.

Before joining DFO, Sarah worked for the Federal Treaty Negotiation Office within Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (now known as Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs).
