PSAC members in good standing who self-identify as Indigenous (FNMI) may apply to be a participant at this gathering. The selection will also strive to ensure that participants reflect the diversity of the membership within PSAC.

You are encouraged to inform members in your Local to ensure they are aware of this gathering. Bulletin boards may not always be accessible, and many people now work exclusively from home.  Additional outreach is therefore important and necessary.

French and English simultaneous interpretation will be provided on an as-needed basis as noted in the accepted delegates’ registration forms.

FUNDING FOR PARTICIPANTS:

Participants are entitled to the following:

  • travel costs, including ground transportation;
  • hotel accommodation costs will be direct billed to PSAC;
  • loss of salary;
  • meals unless provided as per the PSAC Travel Policy;

  • family care as per the Family Care Policy; and
  • costs related to accessibility requirements (based on pre-approval).

Please note: Applying does not guarantee your seat at the Gathering. You will be notified by email if you have been selected or not.
