CUPE recently hosted two community events – one at the Friendship Centre in Buffalo Narrows and one at the Friendship Centre in La Loche. These come-and-go community events drew in approximately 75 local residents for an evening of fun, food, and connection. Attendees enjoyed games, hot dogs, and the chance to win CUPE prizes.
“It was a great event, with so many people coming together,” said Wanda Gibson, CUPE 5430 member and member ambassador for the Saskatchewan Northern and Indigenous Pilot Project. “Children had a great time, and the sense of community was inspiring.”
CUPE was welcomed with warmth and hospitality as local residents shared stories about life in northern Saskatchewan, highlighting the value of building strong, lasting relationships with communities across the province.
