If you have not yet had the chance to volunteer, we would like to encourage you to in any way you can. Many of you have a Volunteer Day in your Collective Agreement and this would be a perfect example of a time to use it.

The children of Fort McMurray have lost so much. Imagine if you had been evacuated from a huge fire, and had probably lost everything, or you have been displaced with no idea when you can return your children to their safe place… home! Let’s give these children something to do so the parents can have some time to see their children being children in a time of tragedy.

Join other members for an update on bargaining. Events are taking place across the prairies to keep members informed of our bargaining efforts.
