On May 8, 2024 the Saskatoon office hosted the SEIU-West Family of Nursing Conference. Sponsored by the Nursing Care Committee (NCC), this conference is held every two years to celebrate the work of the members of our Family of Nursing: Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and other SEIU-West members in similar hands-on care roles in personal care homes and group homes, such as Direct Support Workers and Direct Care Providers. The conference was originally scheduled for last October, but was postponed due to bad weather.
