National Indigenous History Month
National Indigenous History Month
PSAC Ontario celebrates National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21st), by recognizing and honouring the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and the outstanding contributions of First Nation, Inuit and Métis people across Turtle Island. This year marks a decade since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission presented the “94 Calls to Action”, setting the foundation for reconciliation between Canadians and Indigenous Peoples. In June 2019, is where the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, entitled Reclaiming Power and Place was presented. It delivers 231 individual calls for justice directed at governments, institutions, social service providers, industries, and Canadians. As Indigenous people, allies, and activists, we all have a part to play in moving these calls to action forward, using our voice and demonstrating support through awareness and education.

tonight-Meet CEIU bargaining team members
Meet CEIU bargaining team members, April 29
The best thing members can do to support a strong collective agreement is vote for candidates in the federal election who vow to protect the services that keep our communities safe and strong. Your voice at the ballot box strengthens our voice at the table.
As we approach negotiating our next collective agreement, CEIU have a strong voice at the table with three CEIU members on the PA Group bargaining team: Charito Humphreys (Prairies), Francesca Dorvilier (Quebec), and Missy Taylor (Ontario).
Join your CEIU bargaining team members and elected leaders to learn about the bargaining process:
When: Tuesday, April 29, 7 p.m. (EST)
