President’s Evaluation — Report 2022

As your President, I have focused this year on key priority areas that reflect my vision of PIPSC as a member-oriented organization ready to tackle the challenges ahead.

The 2022 PIPSC Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held in-person on November 18 and 19, 2022 at Le Centre Sheraton Montreal.

The event will be live streamed for members who are interested in watching it virtually. You won’t be able to speak or vote; it will simply be a live feed of what is happening in the room.

To view the live stream of the AGM, please register by emailing it@pipsc.ca by November 9, 2022. Send us your name, email address and membership number (if you know it).

The PIPSC IT team will set you up on the Meta Workplace platform to view the AGM. There will be a quick test of the platform on November 10 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM ET – please log in to ensure you have no issues with the picture or sound.

Please note that there is no salary replacement for being a virtual observer.

If you have any questions about being a virtual observer, please contact it@pipsc.ca.

On the second National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and in recognition of Orange Shirt Day, join PIPSC in supporting residential school survivors, and making an impact for truth and reconciliation.

On September 30, we will raise a flag at our National Office in support of survivors of residential schools. It’s our duty as public service professionals to recognize the genocide and intergenerational trauma caused by residential schools, and to take action to correct historical wrongdoings.

September 30 is also known as Orange Shirt Day in honour of Phyllis Webstad’s story of having her orange shirt removed upon arrival at a residential school.

Together, let’s commit to promoting Indigenous culture, supporting Indigenous artists, revitalizing Indigenous languages, and supporting Indigenous community organizations.

We’re encouraging members to make a donation to an Indigenous organization or charity of your support. Pledge your donation to support Truth and Reconciliation. For those that make a pledge, we’ll suggest some charities and thank you with a small token of appreciation. PIPSC will also make an important donation to show our support of Indigenous communities fighting for Truth and Reconciliation.

Support language revitalization

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission called for a dozen actions related to Indigenous language promotion and support. Celebrate Indigenous languages by learning the basics of at least one of the 70 Indigenous languages present in Canada.
