Christmas Meeting well Attended

Thank-you to all of the individuals who attended our Fall meeting. Every site in the chapter had representation during the meeting and 27 members enjoyed pizza and pop, while visiting with Raz Erez, one of the union's Vice Presidents. Raz carried the message of welcome and news of the future from the AUPE's newly elected President Guy Smith. Stan Bateman, Local 45 Chair was also in attendance and answered some questions from the membership. The newest stewards for the union were acknowledged and a couple more individuals have stepped forward to take the course and become stewards. The members thank you all for your commitment to maintaining the balance contained in the Collective agreement.
