Our Board of Directors

Chelsea Stebner is CEO and Managing Partner of Parr Auto Body. Her career in autobody started with her as a receptionist in a heavy truck collision shop where she was introduced to an industry like no other. Through the years as people ask why she’s in collision repair – she maintains it’s never been about the cars; it’s always been about the amazing people along the way.

Chelsea leads her team with the vision “impacting people and community accidentally on purpose through our world class collision repair”. Her role focuses on Business Development, HR, industry relations and so much more.

She’s passionate and committed to her team and the progression of the collision repair industry, as well as her community in Saskatoon. Chelsea has been involved with several industry boards and currently sits as a special advisor on the CCIF (Canadian Collision Industry Forum) Steering Committee and she’s the current chair of the NSBA’s Lesson’s I’ve Learned committee. She also pens a regular column for Collision Repair Magazine. Her commitment to community shines through in her involvements in non-profit organizations within Saskatchewan.

If she’s not at work, you’ll find Chelsea way up north adventuring deep in the woods with her family; her husband Mark and daughters; Kate and Allison. If she’s not in the woods, she might be out walleye fishing or baking her famous cookies or cinnamon rolls.

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.
