An invitation to active Union Stewards: The PSAC Prairie region will be hosting a series of 1-day “Building the Union through Steward’s Work” events that include an evening meeting to develop the Prairies 2016-2018 Regional Education Plan.

With the federal election only a few days away, PSAC members and Canadians from coast to coast to coast are thinking seriously about heading to the polls, if they haven’t voted already. In Westman, PSAC members are helping giving local folks that extra push to the polls. In Brandon, PSAC-sponsored election coffee sleeves are hugging the take-out orders at coffee shops across the city.

Are you an Aboriginal, Inuit or Métis PSAC member who would like to learn more about their union?  If yes, we invite you to apply for the PSAC Prairies National Aboriginal Peoples’ Circle (NAPC) course.

This 3 hour workshop is targeted to Local executive members and activists.
