NOTE* Deanna brought up Family Day at Assiniboine Park which will be sponsored by PSAC. We decided to come back to this as most in attendance have not been able to talk to their memberships and are awaiting Staff/AGMmeetings. As well, the committee had a discussion about the Severance Packages. Important to contact a financial advisor so you can make an educated decision on the choices that are offered to you, but didn’t see the need to hold joint meetings with financial advisors.
