In 1959, Polak was born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] Her mother was a nurse while her father was a pathologist. Polak was part of a choir while she grew up in Barrie, Ontario.[2] While Polak was in school, she joined the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada's youth group.

For the Rough Riders, Polak was initially named business manager in December 1988,[4] and became a co-general manager alongside Steve Goldman later that month.
