The executive leadership of the WCB was re-organized in 1996 following a full internal and external review of
operations, methods and communications. The ultimate goal of the review and re-organization is to provide quicker
and more efficient services for workers.
The WCB executive consists of a Chief Executive Officer (
Peter Federko) and three Vice Presidents
(
Gail Kruger,
Donna Kane, and

approximately 430 people at its headquarters in Regina and a branch office in Saskatoon.
