As the holiday season approaches, many in our community may need a little extra support. If you know someone who could benefit from a helping hand, we invite you to nominate them for one of five Christmas hamper baskets or one of thirty Co-op gift cards, courtesy of the Young Workers Committee and Nursing Care Committee.
We are leaving a dark, ugly and hateful world behind us for our children and grandchildren to live in if we don’t stand up and speak up against the realities in our world.
Discrimination has and will further divide us in this province and country. Many will blame the confinement and restrictions of this pandemic as the result of escalating questionable behaviour. The truth of the matter is, discrimination was here before this pandemic. Hate was here before this pandemic. Division was here before this pandemic and the discrimination, hate and division is growing. It will swallow up and consume our children’s and grandchildren’s world if we don’t stop it now and speak up.
We voted for our “chosen” government leaders to work for us. Are they really working for us or are they working for themselves? We should be demanding these elected officials do their job dealing with the discrimination and hate in our country and provinces. They should be speaking up, speaking loud and taking action against discrimination. Anything less, they are not doing their jobs. Some have not been doing their job; maybe they are part of the problem? Maybe it’s time to start thinking and questioning that?
When are we going to get to the end of being sick and tired of watching the tears, hearing the voices of broken hearts and broken families, hearing the “I’m sorry,” “my condolences” and feeling our guts churn from the outcome of discrimination?
Our children and grandchildren are watching and listening.

Dear Members,
We want to thank those who were able to come out last week to attend our very successful media event at the Legislature in Regina. It was great to see members from the three Health Care Provider Unions (HPUs) from across the province stand together in solidarity. During Question Period, multiple MLAs asked questions to the Premier and the Minister of Health on our behalf. We were also able to have meetings with the Opposition Caucus and the Minister of Health to address our concerns over the slow pace of bargaining and the state of health care in our province.
For Immediate Release
