Lorraine Hewlett, B.A., M.A., B.Ed.
Policy and Legislative Analyst, Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology (CCWESTT) Lorraine Hewlett has a B.A. and M.A. in Political Science (University of Alberta/Carleton University), a B.Ed. in Social Studies (St. FX), and over twenty (20+) years of experience with the Government of the Northwest Territories, specializing in the analysis, development, evaluation, and management of public policies, legislation, and programs. In her current work as a Policy and Legislative Analyst with the Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades, and Technology (CCWESTT), Lorraine contributed to the development of a national gender equality report card. She has spent the last eighteen months assessing the legislative frameworks, implementation frameworks, and strategic planning processes of Canada’s fourteen (14) federal-provincial-territorial (FPT) governments, and comparing them to Iceland, which has been ranked as the No. 1 country for the last 16 years in closing the gender equality gap. Lorraine identified many of Iceland’s best practices that all of Canada’s FPT jurisdictions could also implement to close the gender equality gap across the country.
