National Day of Action - Saturday, September 15, 2012
September 12, 2012 at 3:12 PM
Across the country, on Saturday, September 15, Public Service Alliance of Canada members, their families, Labour and community organizations will gather for various events to express together how "We Are All Affected" by the cuts to public services in our communities.
All Canadians are affected because
- We all rely on services like food inspection, Old Age Security, promoting First Nations and Inuit health, environmental protection, preservation of parks and historic sites, search and rescue, assistance to veterans, support for our troops, border security and transportation safety,
- Public service workers are our families, friends, neighbours, and customers,
- These job cuts are bad for our country and our economy.
In Winnipeg PSAC will be hosting a family friendly event where as a community we will be decorating and writing messages about how we are affected by the cuts imposed by the Harper Government on a large graffiti banner. There will be activities for children and entertainment.
For more information please contact the PSAC Winnipeg Regional Office (204) 947-1601.

10:00 - 11:45 am Signing and decorating Graffiti Banner, info booths, face painting for kids, snacks, juice and coffee
