September was a busy month for Local 2268, with meetings, community events, and opportunities to connect with CUPE members and education workers across the province.
We kicked things off with our Executive Meeting on September 2, bringing the Executive Committee together to discuss ongoing Local business, upcoming activities, and priorities for the months ahead.
September 11th to 13th, Darrelle Downs represented Local 2268 at the CUPE National Dollars and Sense Conference, an opportunity to build financial knowledge, connect with CUPE members from across the country, and learn more about the economic issues affecting workers and our communities.
On September 12, Local 2268 hit the streets for the Broadway Street Fair. JR Simpson, Emily Hitchings, and Teresa Hitchings represented the Local at the event, connecting with members of the community and helping bring some CUPE spirit to the day.
Later in the month, members came together for our General Membership Meeting on September 23. These meetings remain an important opportunity to keep members informed, discuss Local business, and make sure our members have a voice in the work happening within 2268.
The CUPE Saskatchewan All Committee Meeting followed on September 25, with Tammy Stonehouse (CUPE Saskatchewan Global Justice Committee Member), Gwen Murphy (CUPE Saskatchewan Global Justice Committee Member), Emily Hitchings (CUPE Saskatchewan Young Worker Executive Liaison), and JR Simpson (CUPE Saskatchewan Vice President) representing Local 2268. The meeting brought CUPE activists together from across Saskatchewan to share information, connect with one another, and continue the work happening through CUPE Saskatchewan’s various committees.
We wrapped up the month with the Education Workers Steering Committee All Presidents’ Meeting in Saskatoon on September 28. Tammy Stonehouse and Teresa Hitchings represented Local 2268 at the meeting, joining education-sector leaders from across the province to discuss the issues affecting education workers and the work happening within our sector.
September may be behind us, but the fall is just getting started. We have plenty happening in October, with more meetings, events, and opportunities to stay connected with your Local.
