School Supply Drive
This is just a reminder to all that the 2010 - 2011 School Year begins September 9, 2010 and we are hoping to collect more donations for our inner city schools so that every child in our inner city will have the tools they need to learn. Please give generously to this worthy cause.
Donations can be dropped off at the PSAC office at 175 Hargrave Street Room 460. As an incentive, each $50.00 donation received will get you or your local 1 ticket for a draw for 2 Blue Bomber Game Tickets. The draw will be made the Wednesday before the game.

Retirement Security - Canadian Labour Congress
| Send a Message to your Member of Parliament! Canada is at a crossroads, just like it was forty years ago when it was time to do something about our health care system. Today, we need to do something about retirement income, and we need to do it soon. All that's needed is some leadership from the federal government. Which is why we need you to tell your Member of Parliament that you support the Canadian Labour Congress' campaign for "Retirement Security for everyone!" Send this message to your MP today. |
Envoyez un message à votre député ou députée! Le Canada est à la croisée des chemins, tout comme il y a quarante ans, à l'époque où des gestes ont dû être posés pour notre système de santé : il faut agir pour protéger le revenu de retraite et il faut agir rapidement. Tout ce qu'il faut, c'est un certain leadership du gouvernement fédéral. C'est pour cela que nous vous encourageons à faire savoir à votre député ou députée que vous appuyez la campagne du Congrès du travail du Canada pour « La sécurité des retraites pour tous! » Nous avons transformé le Canada pour le mieux lorsque nous avons réclamé en bloc un système de santé pour tout le monde. Envoyez ce message à votre député ou députée dès aujourd'hui. |
