Expression of Interest: After Stonewall Conference 2025 with the Gender and Sexual Diversity Committee

The SEIU-West Gender and Sexual Diversity Committee (GSDC) invites you to apply to attend their 2025 Conference. This event will focus on understanding, supporting, and celebrating the needs/concerns/perspectives of 2SLGBTQIA+ persons.

The Conference will be held at the SEIU-West Saskatoon office on April 17, 2025 from 9:30am - 4:30pm. Interested members may apply to attend by completing the Expression of Interest form no later than Friday February 14, 2025 to allow time to complete the registration and selection process.

For those selected, the committee will cover your costs including: your lost wages/honorarium, mileage, travel time and applicable meals as per our policies. Hotel rooms will also be provided if you are more than 200km away. We ask that you notify us to cancel your hotel if your plans change and you are unable to attend. If you are selected to attend and you are scheduled to work, you can apply for union leave to attend.
