104th Annual General Meeting

During last year’s Annual General Meeting, we asked #PIPSC members why the AGM is meaningful to them. The AGM is an opportunity to get involved, share ideas, and learn from each other. Take a look!  

PIPSC concluded its landmark national convention today, marking a significant milestone in the union's journey towards becoming a 'beacon of progress' and preparing for the future in the labour landscape.

Watch the Convention/AGM 2023 Highlights video. President Jennifer Carr thanked delegates, facilitators, speakers, and staff for their contributions to the success of the PIPSC Convention 2023 and 104th Annual General Meeting.

Delegates viewed a video update on the Institute’s Legacy Foundation, including brief profiles of this year’s scholarship laureates.

AGM delegates were pleased to welcome two of Turtle Island’s leading Indigenous and LGBTQ2s+ advocates, Dr. James Makokis & Anthony Johnson, to learn about active allyship.

AGM delegates welcomed with open hearts and minds, Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, former Member of Parliament, lawyer, advocate, and leader among Canada’s Indigenous Peoples to have an important conversation on achieving justice and reconciliation.

On the third day of its national convention, PIPSC presented the findings of a comprehensive study aimed at understanding and contextualizing the union's involvement in colonial institutions, policies, and programs that have adversely affected Indigenous peoples.

The “Steward of the Year” award acknowledges those who have gone “above and beyond” their duties to assist members and who have made extraordinary contributions to the Institute.

President Jenn Carr presented awards to deserving Institute members for their exemplary and inspiring leadership and thanked the members of the Award Selection Panel for reviewing the nominations and for recommending these laureates.

AGM delegates welcomed, friend of the union, Alexandre Boulerice, Member of Parliament and NDP Labour critic, to openly discuss the ways to protect public services, defend union and human rights, and make sure we live in a just and equitable society.

On the second day of its national convention, PIPSC has unveiled 'Navigar,' an innovative online skills development tool designed to assist members in adapting to the rapidly evolving workplace impacted by AI and machine learning.

AGM delegates were happy to welcome Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) at the Convention. Her message inspired solidarity between unions and a strong way forward for the working class.

At our historic first-ever convention, PIPSC President Jenn Carr delivered a speech about our union’s immense pride in charting a new course.

2023 AGM delegates stood for moment of silence to honour their colleagues who had passed away since the 2022 AGM.

On Sunday, November 26, 2023, AGM Chair Paul Cardegna called the 104th Annual General Meeting to order with a warm welcome to the more than 800 delegates.
