Vegreville in Edmonton

On the heart-breaking final week for employees of the Vegreville Case Processing Centre (CPC), the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) has won an important but bittersweet victory for our members.

This community forum will connect us with those who share our concerns and give a voice to those who weren’t consulted in the decision making process, including the municipality, the workers, and the community as a whole. We need support from every person in Vegreville and the surrounding communities. We’re calling on the government to Respect Vegreville and reverse their decision. Join us at the community forum to ask questions, voice your concerns, and learn how you can get involved.Sunday, December 18, 2016, 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:00 p.m.)
