      Convention Today
      Together for a stronger union, better communities and a better world

      Welcome to CUPE’s 28th biennial national convention, CUPE's ultimate decision making authority.

      Together, over the coming week, we’ll:
      • Debate policy resolutions from across the country;
      • Hear reports on the wide range of work our members, committees and leaders have done over the last two years;
      • Listen to inspiring speakers who can help shape our conversations;
      • Build an action plan that will lay out the steps we'll take over the next two years to expand public services, create stable and secure full-time jobs, raise the wages of all workers, and deepen our connections with our allies.

      Thanks to you and the more than 2,200 other delegates from across the country who will be shaping CUPE’s work on behalf of our 650,000 members.
