The Toronto IT Sub-Group Newsletter - Summer 2024 Edition
This newsletter is an initiative to: reach out to members of the Toronto IT Sub-Group, introduce ourselves, share published info that members may not already be aware of and build our community. We are all IT union members of PIPSC, let’s work together to show our pride and achieve our mutual goals! We invite you to attend events, help out, volunteer, run for an executive position and/or write to any of us and share your ideas about how we can do better. We invite you to join the discussions and provide feedback on our TorontoITSubgroup Facebook group or reach us through email at it-ti-toronto@pipsc.ca.

News & Updates

2. IT Toronto Bowling Night
The Toronto Executive held a Bowling Night at Playtime Bowl in North York on May 9th. Those who attended got to enjoy Bowling and Pizza while getting to know other IT members in the subgroup.
We look forward to seeing you at the next planned event!
Kindly remember to RSVP by the date provided in the Event invitation to allow us to plan for your attendance. Also, if you RSVP, and later find out you cannot attend an event, let us know so our union dues aren’t spent on empty seats.
This will go a long way in helping us properly manage our union dues. Thank You.
3. Updating your Contact Info and Searching for your Membership Number
To change your email, home and work address please visit the PIPSC Website www.pipsc.ca/member-tools/change-of-address. By doing this it ensures we can reach you and that your union dues are directed to providing you assistance. Share this with your colleagues.
PIPSC- Did You KNOW?
Each PIPSC member belongs to a Branch and subgroup (where available). All IT workers in the GTA belong to the Toronto IT Subgroup. There are two branches in the GTA: Greater Toronto Branch and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Branch. If you work at ECCC you’re a member of the ECCC Branch, otherwise you’re a member of the GTA Branch. When you see messages about Branch events feel free to participate!
