Your AFS Executive members recently participated in a Positive Space Awareness LGBTQ2+ training session. The session was informative and an excellent opportunity to exchange thoughts on how we all support an open healthy work environment for everyone.

The Labour Board heard the PSTAR grievances, FPSLREB File Nos. 566.34.9832 & 9833 (Myles & Alcock), on October 2-5.
