Stanley Woloshyn (born July 17, 1939) is a politician in Alberta, Canada. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta as an Alberta New Democrats candidate in 1989. Woloshyn was reportedly a former card-carrying Progressive Conservative member,〔(Alberta Votes 2004 ) CBC News〕 but told members of the NDP constituency that it was behind him. Before the next election, he crossed the floor to join the Progressive-|Conservative caucus for which he sat for 11 years. Born in Edmonton, Woloshyn received a bachelor of education degree from the University of Alberta, and went on to serve as teacher, department head and principal of Memorial Composite High School in Stony Plain. From 1977 to 1989, he served as principal of Kitaskinaw School on the Enoch Indian Reserve. Woloshyn crossed the floor to the governing Progressive Conservative caucus prior to the election in 1993. In 1996, Woloshyn was appointed Minister of Public Works, Supply and Services, and was re-elected (and re-appointed to cabinet) in 1997. Following the cabinet shuffle of May 1999, he was named Minister of Community Development. In the year 2000, Woloshyn received the Association of Professional Engineers and Geologists of Alberta (APEGGA) Summit Award. Woloshyn ran again in 2001, re-capturing the constituency of Stony Plain easily, with 67% of the vote. He did not run again in 2004. Rates at the province's long-term care facilities were increased by 42% under his watch, and Wolosyn himself was "somewhat disappointed" in the lack of assistance handed down to seniors in the spring 2004 〔(Abolition of seniors health-care premium ) ''Alberta NDP News'', April 6, 2004 〕 The NDP was critical of his and other retirning government members' "transition allowances", in Woloshyn's case totalling over $477,000.〔(Scrap the transition allowance ) Alberta NDP News, June 27, 2004〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stan Woloshyn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
