Satinder Bains Regina Area Council Representative Prairie Region Council February 2020 I continue to attend and work with the Regina Human Rights and Regina Area Council committees and attended the meetings on regular bases.  Continued to participate in on the PRC conference calls to keep up to the current events and issues in the PSAC.

This report covers the period from the last PRC meeting in November 2019. The federal election kicked off this reporting period.  With the new elections act requirements, more coordination was required.  Every member in the Prairies received a mailout with information on political party platforms.  We launched an election page on our regional website to consolidate all election related event notices and information.  While we were successful in getting some labour friendly MP’s elected, we also lost some great MP’s that were always ready to stand with our members.
