Jennifer Rattray
Jennifer Rattray is the first Associate Vice President Indigenous, Government, and Community Affairs at the University of Winnipeg.[1] Rattray was hired in 2004 "as part of U of W president Lloyd Axworthy's team."[2] Rattray's 15 years as a local news reader provided a solid background for a position in upper management of a postsecondary education institution.[1] Rattray "recognizes the knowledge she has gained by listening to Elders, leaders, youth, and the community."[1] In addition to listening to various people, Rattray also possesses a graduate degree conferred by her place of employment.[1] According to the University of Winnipeg Public Sector Compensation Discloure Report for 2012, Rattray is one of the top paid administrators at UW, earning $143,233.55,[3] more than the ceiling for Full Professors at the university.[4]
In February 2012, Rattray was in the news as a defender of Enbridge and its sponsorship of the University of Winnipeg Eco Kids Program.[5] Enbridge is a large Canadian pipeline company that has been denounced by UW student groups for its poor environmental track record, including 800 spills between 1999 and 2010 resulting in nearly 20 million litres of crude oil being released into the environment.[6] Rattray defended UW's agreement with Enbridge, leading one prominent Winnipeg journalist to conclude that Rattray and the UW "sold its integrity for money from dirty oil."[6] Rattray is also a member of the board of the Winnipeg Airports Authority.[7]
Prior to her appointment at UW, Rattray was news anchor at Winnipeg television station CBWT between 2001 and September 2004.[8]
Prior to CBWT, she worked at other Winnipeg television stations — CHMI-TV and CKY-TV.
During Rattray's career as a news reader and TV personality, she was given many awards including a Manitoba Motion Picture Blizzard Award, two Gracie Allen Awards from the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television, New York, and Radio and Television News Directors Association and Can-Pro awards.[9]
Rattray had a role as the transgendered romantic lead in the 2002 made for TV film Framed which starred Rob Lowe and was directed by Daniel Petrie, Jr.[10] The film was shot in Winnipeg and aired on the TNT network.[11]
Rattray is married to St. Paul's High School football coach Stacey Dainard, and has a son Tristan Alexander Rattray Dainard born September 22, 2003.[12]
