Energy Safety Canada, the national safety association for Canada’s
energy industry, is pleased to announce the appointment of Vineeta

his retirement in January after serving in the role for seven
years.
Vineeta brings more than 30 years of deep operational experience
in the energy industry. Her diverse leadership roles from field
operations to most recently transforming supply chain has
integrated the safety perspectives and efficiency of
multi-disciplinary teams including trades, services and vendors
across the industry.
Murray Elliott has led Energy Safety Canada since September

has included serving in significant roles at Shell Canada. Murray’s
visionary leadership has guided Energy Safety Canada’s strategy,
significantly influencing the organization’s global
recognition.
“Murray’s contributions to Energy Safety Canada and the broader
energy industry have been substantial. His leadership and vision
for health and safety have established a strong foundation for our
continued growth and impact on industry,” said Steve Reynish, Board
Chair at Energy Safety Canada. “We are all truly grateful for his
dedication and his contributions and wish him the best in his
retirement.”
Vineeta’s experience in executive roles across domestic and
international organizations saw her lead transformative strategies
for North American operations and supply chains. As Vice President
of Ovintiv’s Canadian Operations, Vineeta demonstrated exceptional
leadership by overseeing a 1,000-person functional organization
that included drilling, completions, facilities, field operations,
health and safety, and stakeholder communications. As Vice
President Supply Management – North America, Vineeta's strategic
vision and operational expertise were instrumental in optimizing
supply chain efficiencies, driving innovation, and ensuring
effective coordination across complex operations.
Vineeta currently serves on Whitecap Resources Inc.’s Board of
Directors and is an advisor and mentor at the Haskayne School of
Business and the Schulich School of Engineering at the University
of Calgary. She has been recognized for her leadership and
contributions with awards including the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee
2023 Medal for volunteer service, a 2020 STEP Award from the North
American Manufacturing Institute and was named one of the Top 100
Most Influential Women in Supply Chain in 2019.
“I am honored to join Energy Safety Canada and continue the
important work of advancing safety in the energy industry,” said
Vineeta Maguire. “I look forward to building on the strong
foundation established by Murray Elliott and driving further
