National Day of Truth and Reconciliation – September 30, 2023

by

This Saturday, September 30, 2023 is National Truth and Reconciliation Day.

Since 2013, September 30 has been commemorated as “Orange Shirt Day”, inspired by the story of residential school survivor Phyllis Jack Webstad.

As a young girl, Phyllis was gifted a new orange shirt by her grandmother before she was taken to a B.C. residential school. The shirt was confiscated and destroyed by her teacher on the first day of classes. The story has come to symbolize the colonial assimilation goals of the residential school system.

Please wear an orange shirt to work on Friday, September 29, 2023 to commemorate the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

CUPE Transfer Process

by

By now, you should have received the CUPE Transfer Information. This is a great way for permanent CUPE staff to move to a new location, but make sure that it is something you want to do.

Once you submit the paperwork, you are agreeing to be moved to one of your choices without further consultation and you cannot refuse to move.

More information can be found in the Collective Agreement under Article 35. Make sure you read this before submitting any transfer paperwork.

Paperwork needs to be submitted no later than end of day on April 14th and you will receive an answer by end of day on April 28th. You can only transfer within your current classification and you cannot increase your FTE through the transfer process.

Transfer requests should be sent to: hr@ldcsb.ca
Please note – “CUPE Transfer Process” in the subject line.

If you have any further questions, you can send them to the above email or ask myself or Patty.
