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.
SEIU-West stands in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and with the labour movement in defending the rights of children and speaking out against authoritarian government overreach.

Saskatchewan—SEIU-West is pleased to share that following our A Safe Spot Means a Lot campaign, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has implemented a new Park & Ride Shuttle Service for workers at Royal University Hospital, the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital and the Dube Centre.
SEIU-West's First Nations Métis Inuit Committee (FNMIC) would like to share information about the meaning behind September 30th, Orange Shirt Day. Read Phyllis Webstad's story here. This date was chosen because this was the time of year where children were taken from their homes and put into residential schools.
Date: September 27, 2023
Greetings Sisters, Brothers, and Colleagues,
I would like to first thank SEIU-West for giving me the opportunity to attend this event. It was an honor to be acknowledged and appreciated, and to be given an award in the said SEIU International event. Thank you.
