Big changes are coming to CUPE 5047!

We are in the process of switching to a new e-mail platform. This platform will have many great features for our membership.

It is highly important that ALL members have shared their personal email addresses with our Recording Secretary

Union emails are shared with members only to personal email addressed, the union is unable to send members emails about union business to HRCE email addresses.

The CUPE National Union Education Branch is recruiting for their member facilitator program. Member facilitators are a vital part of CUPE’s education program, providing a wide variety of workshops to members around the province.

They are looking for applicants who:

• Have experience in their local – on the Executive, as a steward, on a committee or as an activist
• Are comfortable speaking in front of groups
• Are pro-CUPE and represent CUPE’s values
• Represent CUPE’s diversity – Indigenous, Black, racialized, differently abled, 2SLGBTQIA+, women, and young workers
• Come from different areas of the province and work in different sectors
• Have time in their schedules to facilitate a few times a year, including on weekends and during the week
• Have been a participant in a CUPE workshop
• Are open to learn new things and new ways of doing things

The next member facilitator training will take place in December 2025 in Halifax.

In order to be considered for this training, members should send the attached application to CUPE Education (education@cupe.ca) by August 14, 2025.

We are happy to report that our Membership Appreciation events were successful.

Three of our members left with winning a basket, and Shelley (President), had the assistance from a members daughter.

We want to congratulate the following members, Candace DeCoste, Kerri Faulkner, and Bonnie Ashton on winning their baskets.

Members got the opportunity to relax and chat with members of the executive and other members in a social setting with some snacks.
