In the profession’s infancy, Moe was instrumental in introducing the mediation process to the staff of Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) Ontario Region.  The success of his work at Corrections led to Moe’s being invited to the Slovak Republic.  The purpose of his visit was to address members of the Slovakian Corrections and Police Academy on the benefits of the mediation process in that country’s paramilitary type services which are often considered to be high stress occupations.  He has been called upon to participate in and address workshops in Canada on the topics of skills and ethics of the mediation profession.  He has explored and researched many different approaches to mediation of on the job conflict within the federal public service including Alternative Dispute Resolution and Informal conflict Management System (ICMS). 

Moe has provided his mediation services for the past 10 years to all levels of staff and management at Corrections Canada.  His clientele included management personnel, labour management, guards, clerical and administrative staff in addition to support staff such as prison nurses etc.

David Crombie, Minister of Health and Welfare and to the Hon. Erik Nielsen, Minister of Public Works.  He also served as Appointment Secretary to the Rt. Hon.
