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.

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.

Welcome home.
There is currently a vacancy on the SEIU-West Executive Board for members that work for the Community Based Organizations Sector.

For Immediate Release - October 29, 2020
Humboldt & Wakaw – SEIU-West health care providers are reminding the public that they are still without a collective agreement. It’s been over 1300 days and they are frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO). This is due to the Saskatchewan Party government’s refusal to fund a fair deal.
During the 2020 Saskatchewan Municipal Election, SEIU-West is excited to re-launch Purple Votes!
The goal of the Purple Votes campaign is to engage members on important provincial election issues, support labout-friendly candidates, encourage member-to-member communication, and ultimately increase informed voter turnout within our membership.
There are also many ways to get involved AND win prizes! Check it out:
During Health Care Provider’s Week, we invite you to reflect upon the team of compassionate people who provide you with quality health care services throughout the Saskatchewan. Each and every day we are astounded by the hard work and value that these members contribute to our society, particularly while on the frontlines of a global pandemic.
Health care providers are caring people who enter the health care sector for the benefit of others, and it’s important to take the time to recognize the skills, experience and professionalism that all health care providers bring to their work. They not only have quality foundational education, health care providers are constantly learning the most current skills and putting them into practice in order to ensure the people of Saskatchewan are receiving the best quality care available. This means is that all members of the health care team should be respected for their valued contribution to client, patient and resident care.
In recognition of the dedication health care providers bring to our valued health care system in Saskatchewan, SEIU-West asks that you participate in our Health Care Providers’ Week Contest! Here’s how to enter:
- Nominate a Health Care Provider and describe how they contribute to the wellbeing of your workplace and/or community.
- Email your answer to [email protected] by November 3, 2020.
By entering, you and your nominee will have a chance to win a Visa gift card or SEIU-West swag! Please note: you must be a SEIU-West member to enter.
Thank you to our health care providers!
This is our first celebration of Health Care Provider Week during a pandemic.

Assiniboia – SEIU-West health care providers are reminding the public that they are still without a collective agreement for over 3½ years and are frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO) due to the Saskatchewan Party government’s refusal to fund a fair deal.
Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) provide valuable services to people in our cities and towns.
In this video, members of the CBO Committee of Saskatchewan have come up with a series of questions for people to ask candidates and party representatives as they reach out to gain support during the 2020 provincial election.
This Op-Ed was written by SEIU-West President Barbara Cape and submitted to various papers in Saskatchewan on October 20, 2020.
SEIU-West is proud to recognize October 20, 2020 as Pharmacy Technician Day!
Our members who work as Pharmacy Technicians are crucial to our public health care team; they prepare, check and distribute medications and pharmacy supplies to ensure patients are safely supplied their prescribed predications or over the counter medicines. They also support accurate patient information with other health care professionals.
Pharmacy Technicians assist Pharmacists, patients, residents and clients requiring medications and demonstrate their valuable contribution to health care outcomes. They work to progress our communities to better health, and we thank them for all their incredible efforts each and every day!
To celebrate Pharmacy Technician Day, SEIU-West asks that you to participate in the Pharmacy Technician Day Contest! Simply tell us how a Pharmacy Technician has helped you/your family – email [email protected] by October 27, 2020 for your chance to win some awesome prizes!
CLXTs are vital to the success of quality health care. By performing X-ray exams, Electrocardiograms (ECG) and Holter monitoring, these hard working health care technologists ensure patients receive the best care available.
Celebrate Healthcare Security and Safety Week October 11-17!
Health care security is unique. Our public Security Officers work on the front lines in some of the largest, busiest, most complex care facilities in the province--like Laurie, who works at Royal University Hospital. They are trained, certified, skilled professionals who provide for the safety and protection of the facility and grounds, as well as clients, staff and public utilizing the facility. They are a key part of the health care team, serving medically complex and socially disadvantaged populations.
In recognition of their incredible work, we ask that you email and tell us why those who work as in-house Security Officers are an important part of the health care team. Email your answers to [email protected] for your chance to win a Visa gift card!
Deadline to apply: October 23, 2020.
