Invitation to PIPSC Simcoe-Grey Annual General Meeting 2025
We want YOU to be there!
We’re kicking off the first year of our 3-year term with a new National Board of Directors and a wave of fresh leadership! A new group of Executives have been elected by our members, ushering in exciting changes. With challenges like the Return to Office Mandate, budget cuts, a prorogued Parliament, and an upcoming Federal election, there’s no better time for us to unite. Because together, we’re better!
This year, Simcoe-Grey is hosting a 4-way AGM, joining forces with members from the IT, AFS, and our newly founded SH sub-group for their AGMs as well. As part of our branch, you're invited to be a key part of this gathering on April 15, 2025. This event is a chance to meet, mingle, and discuss the issues that matter most. Plus, we’ll be celebrating our SH sub-group’s achievements!
