National Indigenous People’s Day
On June 21, for National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada.
Were you aware that CUPE 951 successfully bargained to include language that allows Indigenous employees to take paid leave on National Indigenous People’s Day? If you have any questions, reach out to any Executive member or Steward.
