With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Delbert “Del” Dickson, a dedicated leader, passionate advocate, and cherished friend. Del’s unwavering commitment to his profession and community left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Del devoted 30 years of his career as an accountant and auditor with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Alongside his professional work, he was an active and respected leader within the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), where he tirelessly defended the rights of members and championed their interests.
He received a Steward of the Year Award and served for many years as an NCR Director on the Board of Directors and Chair of the National Finance Committee. He played a key role in the AFS National Executive, contributing to the Bargaining Team and National Consultation Committee. He also served as president and executive member of the AFS HQ Sub-Group and was an active Ottawa Centreville Branch executive.
At Regional Council meetings and National AGMs, Del was a familiar presence at the microphone, speaking passionately on issues that mattered to members. His leadership, activism, and dedication earned him the Lifetime Membership Award, a testament to his lasting contributions.
Del’s presence, wisdom, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by his colleagues, friends, and all who worked alongside him.
The NCR Executive mourns his loss and extends heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
