City of St. Albert
It is with heavy hearts that we report that CUPE Weeklong School 2020 has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis. We’ve had so much new interest in this event this year, and we hope that those who put their names in will be ready and eager to learn next year!
So get those prerequisite workshops and check the education board frequently, because terrific opportunities are always out there to get more involved with your union.
Speak to your shop steward for details.
