ASPA USask

Some of our members benefited from Andrea's leadership at Saskatchewan Federation of Labour / Canadian Labour Congress - Congrès du travail du Canada spring school! All the best in your retirement, Andrea!

Earlier this month, we visited our Regina membership, mostly from the College of Medicine as well as one lone College of Nursing member. Thank you to everyone who attended. We all shared a tasty lunch - thank you to ASPA Executive member Nicole Gates-Willick for organizing that!

Through discussions with members, we received a lot of helpful feedback on topics such as:

merit, bargaining, overall communications to members, and future visits to Regina!

Our Regina visit got us thinking: if you and your unit would ever like a visit from ASPA leadership and staff, whether it’s to ask us questions or hear how we can support you, we would love to stop by.

On behalf of the ASPA President and Vice President’s,
Robert Procyk, Simona Meier, and Darla Read.

Together with CUPE Saskatchewan, our local is co-sponsoring a Community BBQ from 11:30 – 1:00 on Tuesday, September 1st (the day before the first day of classes). It will be held just outside the main entrance to the Arts tower.

Everyone in the USask community is invited to attend and have their fill of hamburgers and hot dogs (Halal and vegetarian options will be available).

ASPA is proud this year to sponsor the reissue of buttons from Neil Richards’ collection sexual and gender diversity.
