The Atlantic Region of the Public Service Alliance of Canada is pleased to provide an opportunity for Indigenous members to learn how they can navigate the structures of the PSAC.
Regional Human Rights Committees play an active role in the education of members, employers and communities about human rights issues. They act as a resource to members on human rights issues, as well as a hub of activism. These committees are established in accordance with Section 15 of the PSAC Constitution which enables the establishment of regional equity committees representing any of the four equity groups, or human rights committees, representing all of the four equity groups.
Please find attached a letter sent to PEI MP MacAulay on behalf of PSAC PEI Area Council President Dan Aiken and Vice-President Debi Buell on May 7, 2019
