Starting in June 2025, the one-day OPSEU/SEFPO’s constitution mandatory training session, “Organizing for Power: Dismantling Anti-Black, Anti-Indigenous, and All Forms of Racism” (DSR training), will be offered in each region. For all OPSEU/SEFPO Elected Leaders including Stewards, Bargaining Team Members, Divex members, Health & Safety Representatives, etc.
These sessions are intended for all locally elected officials who have not yet received DSR training.
If you are a leader in OPSEU/SEFPO who has not yet taken the DSR training, please Save the Date in your region and look out for the regional call outs coming soon from your region office. For more information on the program please visit Dismantling Systemic Racism Program – OPSEU SEFPO.
OPSEU/SEFPO’s Dismantling Systemic Racism Program (DSRP) ensure that leaders throughout all levels of the union have the necessary tools to identify, disrupt and dismantle racism whenever it happens. By working together collectively in solidarity, we will ensure that racism is addressed, and real, tangible change happens.
