Ontario Training Course - March 3-5, 2006

Members from the Ontario Region, gathered together for some UNDE Educational Training from the 3-5 March in Picton. The participants were from Treasury Board, Separate Employer and PSP locals. They enthusiastically worked through Modules 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 11 interacting through discussions and role-playing. It was interesting to note that even though the collective agreements were different between the Treasury Board, Separate Employers and PSP, there were some common elements as well. During the evenings there was great networking and even a pool tournament set up by Brother Desbiens, with several teams particpating.

PSP VP Dan Verreault and I would also like express our appreciation to Arlene Preston and Larry Ramsay for facilitating the course. It was very much appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and participation.

Debra Nadeau
VP Ontario
