Nov 15,2021: Social Events REPOSTING from Aug 19
***August 19,2021: Postponed resumption of Social events***
With the resignation of our Social Chair & a lack of a permanent Social Committee, we regret that all CUPE 520 social events will need to be put on pause until social positions are filled with Members willing to take on the work.
…YES…this includes the Christmas Party, which needed planning & preparations to begin in September.
