Virtual town halls (VTHs) were scheduled for the evenings of May 27 and 28 to update SEIU-West members about SAHO bargaining and answer bargaining questions. Unfortunately, the VTH on May 27 ran into major technical glitches. We apologize if you were one of the hundreds of members whose experienced this failure. We were not satisfied that the supplier of the VTH platform would be able to properly fix these problems in time, so we decided to cancel the May 28 VTH.

In recent years, many people have changed the way in which they acknowledge Canada Day. Following the shock of the discovery of thousands of unmarked graves of Indigenous children at residential schools cross Canada, many allies came together to honour Indigenous communities and to raise awareness of the historical and ongoing harms to Indigenous people in Canada. Some communities are shifting to traditional celebrations of Canada, while others have opted to acknowledge Canada Day as a day for mourning and solidarity with Indigenous people.
