Twenty-one AUPE members from northwest Alberta took part in a Basic Union Stewards Course in Peace River on May 30 and 31.

The course was led by Brian Randall, one of AUPE’s union representatives in the union’s Northwest Region.

AUPE operates a regional office in Peace River, and will soon open another fully staffed office in Grande Prairie.

AUPE union education programs, including courses given throughout the province and the week-long annual

AUPE Labour School at the Jasper Park Lodge, are paid for by AUPE at no cost to members.

Hundreds of AUPE members take part in the union’s education programs each year.
