A message from Nan McFadgen
CUPE NS has begun planning our 58th annual division convention for May 29 to June 1, 2022.
It is our hope that we will be able to host you all in person once again. I am asking you to keep in mind that while we are now planning for an in-person convention we live in a world where in person meeting plans are less certain. We are prepared to shift to online should that decision be appropriate.
If your local requires a letter of notice be sent to you by way of Canada Post, please notify me at the coordinates provided below. Otherwise notice should we have to change our plans, will be sent by way of email, social media, and our webpage.
We truly look forward to seeing you “in real life”.
Sincere thanks for the work you do every day representing your union.
Take care.
In solidarity,
Nan McFadgen
President, CUPE NS
