Red Deer College, 100 College Blvd, Red Deer, AB
Monday 9:00 am - Friday 12:00 pm
This course is intended for local union activists, stewards, leaders, political action committee members, executive members and division leaders.
Participants will get a basic understanding of how the electoral system in Canada works and explore how the outcome of provincial and federal elections will impact CUPE members’ lives, jobs, and communities. We will look at how unions can help change the outcome of an election, with an emphasis on mobilizing the most important source of power we have: our membership. Participants will practice skills for having conversations about the issues that matter to us in the upcoming elections. Together we will strategize about how to encourage members and others to vote in the interest of workers and to protect public services in our communities.
You may only pre-register online. Your registration is not complete until the registration form and payment is received by the registrar in the Calgary office.
There are 20 spots per workshop with a maximum of 5 members per Local per workshop.
Scents and Fragrances
In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops. Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches. Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings.
Thank you for your co-operation.
