June is National Indigenous Peoples Month. This is a time to honour the rich history, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. It is an opportunity to reflect on historical and current injustices and commit to true reconciliation in Canada.
The First Nations, Métis and Inuit Committee would like to share some events and resources with you and encourage you to participate in events in your area.
SEIU-West is hosting our first Asian Pacific Islander Summit in Saskatoon on September 24-26, 2026 — an event to bring together workers from across Canada and the U.S.
Being an API member in Canada or the U.S can sometimes feel isolating. You might not have seen yourself in leadership. You may not have always felt seen or understood. But you can find a home with us. We believe in you. We see you. And most importantly, you belong.
Welcome home.
There is currently a vacancy on the SEIU-West Executive Board for members that work for the Community Based Organizations Sector.
You may have noticed there hasn't been an announcement about bbqs for the summer yet.
The SEIU-West First Nations, Métis and Inuit Committee (FNMIC) is hosting a contest to design an image for orange shirts that the committee provides yearly to members. Submit your design to enter to win a $100 Co-op gift card.
The Workers of Colour Multicultural Mentorship Committee (WoCMMC) sent delegates to the Asian Pacific Island (API) Summit in October 2025.

Members that attend are asked to provide a report so that the membership can also benefit from the events. Please have a read:

HEALTH PROVIDERS COME TO LEGISLATURE TO CALL FOR BETTER WORKPLACES
AND BETTER HEALTH CARE
(REGINA) Saskatchewan’s Health Provider Unions came to the legislature today to call for a new contract. Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Service Employees International Union-West (SEIU-WEST), and the Saskatchewan Government & General Employees’ Union (SGEU) gathered on the steps of the legislature to call for a new collective bargaining agreement three years after the previous agreement expired.
