Victoria Park, Scarth St and 12th Ave, Regina, SK - About 100 people stood outside over the 45 minutes. They handed out flyers and half of a cookie, explaining that when the government cuts public services, you'll only be getting half the services, and talked with the public. Bruce Cook, UTE local President, did the media interviews. CBC, CBC radio, CTV and Global all attended.

Thank you to all of the locals for participating in this important action. We admire the courage and persistence of all of the Sisters and Brothers who wore a sticker, waved a flag, or put on a black arm band, and collectively rallied together to take a stand against the damaging austerity agenda of this government.
