Going Green at our Summit

Climate change, global warming and the protection of our environment are union issues. PSAC events and meetings all have an impact on our environment. We can help reduce this impact by adopting environmentally-friendly practices. PSAC has worked to create more sustainable union events to reduce our carbon footprint. Our actions have included reducing the amount of paper and materials distributed, and recycling and reusing materials. Together, we can make a difference.

As part of these efforts, electronic copies of all Summit materials will be provided to participants.

Accommodation for Disabilities

The PSAC Accommodation Policy for delegates at PSAC events strives to ensure that events are barrier-free for delegates with disabilities. Once selected, members may be required to further specify their accommodation needs in order to facilitate their participation at these union activities.

You may be required to provide relevant medical documentation that will assist us to respond to your request. This information will not be disclosed except where necessary to respond to your request for accommodation.

You are not obliged to disclose your diagnosis, only your functional limitations.

Family Care for Participants

The objective of the PSAC Family Care Policy is to remove one of the barriers which prevents delegates from participating fully in union activities and which provides for the reimbursement of family care expenses. A copy of the policy is available at www.psacunion.ca/family-care-policy

Requests must be received no later than November 5, 2021.

We will follow-up if we require additional information.

Thank you for completing the application form!
