Local 012, Lac La Biche

Vice President Mike Dempsey was first elected to AUPE’s Executive in 2013. An Environmental Protection Officer on leave from Alberta Environment and Parks, he’s been an active member for over 35 years.

Serving as a Board member of the Public Service Pension Plan, and for two years, in the Local Authorities Pension Plan, Mike has fought hard for members to have more in control of their pension plans, a struggle that continues today.

Dempsey is Chair of AUPE’s Standing Committee on Political Action, and also serves as a Director on the board of the Parkland Institute, on the Public Service Pension Plan Board, and is a member of the Democracy Task Force for Public Interest Alberta. 

Vice President Dempsey lives in Lac La Biche with his wife Heather. They have two grown children, Jennifer and Chris, who live in British Columbia.
