Each year, delegates from affiliated CUPE Locals Unions gather at the Annual Convention of CUPE Saskatchewan Division to set the direction and determine priorities for the year ahead, hear reports on the vital work being done by our union, elect members to leadership positions, approve financial statements, and engage in important policy discussions on the issues facing CUPE members and the public services we provide to Saskatchewan communities.
The 2022 Annual Convention of CUPE Saskatchewan will be convened and called to order at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, in-person at the Delta Hotels Saskatoon Downtown (405 20th Street East) in Saskatoon.
CUPE Saskatchewan has made the decision to recommence in-person events, following all public health orders and working closely with the venue to reduce risks.
This in-person event will be held in accordance with current public health orders which, at this time, require for attendance:
- Proof of full vaccination or proof of an approved negative COVID-19 test result which must be within the last 72 hours before the call to order. Self-administered take-home tests will not be accepted.
- Mandatory masking.
The Official Convention Call package has been sent to CUPE Local Unions affiliated to CUPE Saskatchewan by regular mail. Local Unions may begin to consider their delegate representation.
