Loss of salary is also covered if required. Members outside of the Winnipeg area who wish to participate should contact Tracy Thor or Shelley Jamieson for pre-approval.
It is crucial that PSAC members are educated, engaged and active in electing the next federal government. A government that will respect the public services that we provide and that Canadians rely on. The only way that we change the current government is to reach out to our own members in the workplace, to your friends and family and to the public when looking at key issues when you cast your vote.
Each member who particpates in the Election training will receive a new "Standing Together" water bottle which you will see the attached picture.
