You’re Invited! – Back-to-School BBQs

These BBQs are free to attend and non-partisan in nature. Our objective is to have a fun and social event to can connect with our constituents and enjoy the last of what summer has to offer before the weather turns.  Details are still being finalized, however we plan to have face painting, ice cream (courteously of the Big Green Machine) and games in addition to the free food and drinks we will be providing. It promises to be fun for all ages! We hope that you and your members will be able to join us at one (or both) of these events.

Thank you to CUPE SK and our Members!

We had a great time at our BBQ last week! Thank you to everyone who pitched in to help and to CUPE Sask for providing everything! It was a huge success and we are very grateful to all of our members for all they do!
