The North Region of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is pleased to invite both Indigenous (First Nation, Métis, and Inuit) and non-Indigenous members from the three Northern Territories to apply for a five-day in-residence advanced course called Unionism on Turtle Island.
The purpose of the training is to build meaningful, long-term relationships with Indigenous peoples inside and outside of our workplaces, with the aim of both supporting the decolonization of Indigenous peoples and increasing Indigenous peoples’ representation at work and in the union.
This Advanced course is open to all PSAC North Region members who have completed PSAC’s Talking Union Basics (TUB) course or PSAC’s Our Communities, Our Union, Our Rights: An Introduction to the PSAC for Indigenous Members (OCOUOR) course. Other equivalencies may be given consideration. This course begins the process of providing a basic awareness of Indigenous Peoples’ history and culture as well as contemporary issues.
The course will take place between Wednesday, January 8 to Sunday, January 12, at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre in Whitehorse, Yukon. Training will be scheduled between 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Wednesday to Saturday and 9:00 AM to 12 PM on Sunday.
There are a limited number of seats for the course, and all applications for the course will be reviewed in consultation with the PSAC North Region staff and Regional Executive Vice-President.
Costs related to attending this course will be covered as per the PSAC Travel Policy, including travel, loss of salary, meals and incidentals and family care.
Members must complete the online registration form by December 8th 12:00 PM MDT.
