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.

Rosetown & Kindersley – Health care providers who are members of SEIU-West are reminding the public that they are still without a collective agreement and are frustrated with the lack of progress in negotiations with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO) due to the Sask Party government’s refusal to fund a fair deal.
As part of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour campaign “Putting Workers First”, the SFL will be hosting a series of labour canvasses in target constituencies with elected labour leaders from our affiliated unions and their members.
What is a labour canvass?
A labour canvass is an organized door-knocking event for labour-friendly provincial election candidates; elected labour leaders join labour friendly candidates and volunteers door knocking in target constituencies.
Who should participate?
Ideally, we want elected leaders of our affiliated unions to join labour friendly candidates on the doorsteps to talk about issues important to working people in Saskatchewan. We welcome all staff and members of our affiliates to volunteer as well!
What to expect:
SFL Labour canvasses will be organized in a space optimal for social distancing where folks will get canvass kits (maps, leaflets, script, etc), swag and a quick lesson on how to canvass from our staff. Folks will then be sent out to polls to canvass on issues important to working people for the labour friendly candidate in that constituency.
How can you help?
Share the SFL’s labour canvass events on your personal and union Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Share labour canvass information to your committees and interested membership through your websites or emails.
RSVP to Deena Kapacila.
In Solidarity,
