Barga.ca
Director
Jaime Holowaty Barga.ca
Director

With nearly two decades in the telecommunications industry, I’ve built a career grounded in exceptional customer service, strategic sales, and relationship management. My journey began on the sales floor at The Wireless Age, where I quickly advanced to store manager—a role I held for 11 years. This experience deepened my understanding of customer needs, operational efficiencies, and market dynamics. I then transitioned into corporate sales, where I spent the last three years driving business growth through tailored solutions and strong client partnerships.
Now, as Director of Customer Relations and Business Development at Barga.ca, I am excited to leverage my expertise to enhance customer experiences and expand business opportunities. Barga is transforming the salvage industry with a transparent and sustainable approach—preventing usable items from ending up in landfills while making them accessible to the public. This mission aligns with my passion for innovation and making a positive impact in the community.
In 2024, I was honored as NSBA’s Member of the Year, which led to a board position with the organization. Over the past year, I’ve been inspired by the passionate, driven, and community-minded leaders I have the privilege of working with, and I look forward to growing alongside them.
Previously, I played a pivotal role in the merger that created the Prairie Sky Chamber of Commerce, serving on the board for six years, including a term as chair. My commitment to service also extends to The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 63, where I was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal in 2022 for my dedication to veterans. In 2023, I had the profound honor of representing Saskatchewan on the Pilgrimage of Remembrance, spending two weeks in France and Belgium paying tribute to those who served in WWI and WWII—a life-changing experience that strengthened my commitment to preserving their legacy.
Beyond my professional and volunteer work, I am passionate about giving back through initiatives such as the NSBA Golf Tournament, Wiegers Care for Kids, Make-A-Wish Golf Tournament, and the Pink Gala Committee, which raises funds for breast cancer research.
When I’m not working or serving my community, I cherish time with my loved ones, including my 16-year-old cat Coco. Summers at my cabin in Candle Lake bring me serenity and a deep connection to nature, while winters often take me to sunny escapes in Puerto Vallarta.
In everything I do, I strive to bring integrity, compassion, and a drive for excellence—making a meaningful impact wherever I go.
