The SEIU-West Education Department is pleased to invite members to apply for our two-day Turtle Island Workshop. The course will take place at Wanuskewin Heritage Park, just outside of Saskatoon.
We will hold two sessions: August 26 and 27 AND August 28 and 29, 2025.
Turtle Island Training is designed for any active SEIU-West member in good standing.
Participants will learn:

- Land claims and Land Encroachment
- Indian Act and Assimilation Policies
- Truth and Reconciliation
- White Privilege and Allyship
SEIU-West will cover the costs of 25 participants per session. Expenses will be reimbursed to a maximum of two days' lost wages/honorarium. Lunch will be provided, and accommodations and mileage will be reimbursed according to our policies.
Be sure to apply by July 21st, 2025! After the application deadline, those who are selected to attend will be sent a confirmation with more details about the event.
