A commitment of one day of activist work (door knocking, phone banks). There will be multiple opportunities to do this work up to the election on October 19 however, our first activity will be on Saturday, July 25 and we strongly encourage your attendance on this date.
Upon completion of both the classroom training and activist work, participants will receive a $50 per diem for each day to cover the cost of parking and lunch. 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.
