Extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration.

Members are responsible for making their own reservations directly with the hotel by Friday, September 1st, 2023. Please make your hotel reservations as soon as you submit your application to us.

All hotel bills must be paid upon checkout and you will be reimbursed on submission of your expense claim on the OPSEU/SEFPO member portal. Members who live within 60 km of the Hotel are entitled to accommodation for Saturday night only. Expenses for family and dependent care will be paid or provided in accordance with OPSEU/SEFPO’s Policy (please see the attached expense guidelines).

The Policy regarding payment of wages at the Educational remains the same since it was changed at the Annual Convention held in April 1999. Please see the attached information regarding this matter.

Please distribute the enclosed forms to interested members in your Local.
