Religious Observances 2013
OPSEU is committed to the principle of freedom of
religion and upholding the right to equal treatment on the basis of
creed. In recognition of these rights and principles, which include
respect for religious beliefs, practices and observances, the Equity
Unit has compiled a calendar of religious observances in 2013. Major
religious celebrations, which represent the holiest time of the year for
many worshipers, have also been highlighted. While the list is not
exhaustive, it does provide guidelines to assist in planning and
scheduling OPSEU meetings, activities and events. To encourage inclusion
and full participation, consideration should be given when scheduling
events that could fall around these times.
*It should also be noted that there are many other forms
of religions and traditions that may fall outside the scope of the
religious calendar we have provided.

Human Rights and Equity Calendar
Key human rights and equity dates have been compiled
into a calendar to highlight members’ priority issues and to draw
attention to events of significance to OPSEU members, the Equity Unit,
and equity committees and caucuses. The dates promote the achievements
of the labour movement, and human rights and community organizations who
have worked proactively to defend and improve members’ rights and
working conditions. The dates also serve as a guideline for planning
events and activities locally, regionally, and in the community.
