Recap

The goal for the Branch at the beginning of the year was to increase visibility of PIPSC and to increase involvement of other groups within the Branch itself.  To this end, we have made some inroads and continue to work on increasing visibility and involvement.  The Thunder Bay AFS Sub-Group held a well-attended joint luncheon during Public Service week with the local UTE Executive and look to continue their efforts in the upcoming year.
