Dear Young Workers:
The OPSEU/SEFPO Provincial Young Workers Committee (PYC) invites you to submit your application to attend the 2024 Young Workers Conference! It will take place from October 25-27, 2024, at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel in downtown Ottawa. In addition to welcoming previous conference participants, we would like to extend a special invitation to those who have not attended in the past. We welcome all members who identify as young workers, 35 and under. Do not miss this opportunity to network, learn, share experiences and have some fun!
“Learning to Fight in a World on Fire: Empowering Young Workers to Fight for Climate Action” reflects the urgent need for young workers to address the climate crisis. As we navigate a world engulfed in environmental challenges, we are eager to hear from guest speakers about the struggles faced within Canada and the drastic steps needed to mitigate climate destruction. Through workshops and discussion, we aim to explore the essential social, political, and economic changes required to combat the climate crisis, particularly from the perspective of young workers within the labour movement. Furthermore, we seek to understand how reconciliation can be integrated into this fight, potentially necessitating a shift in worldview.
Event participants will be selected by the PYC with assistance from OPSEU/SEFPO’s Member Equity Unit. The selection process will try to achieve a diverse group of attendees, representative of the young workers within our membership. All applicants will be contacted by late July and will be advised of the status of their application.
Please submit your application no later than end of day on July 31, 2024 by completing the online application form. Incomplete applications will not be considered. For any additional requirements, please contact the Member Equity Unit directly at [email protected]
