Canada Day deadline for Young Activists Award nominations
Nominees should be AUPE members aged 30 or younger who advocate for others on the jobsite or work with the union to improve working conditions. Or, they could be members who work with labour to improve society and inspire others to take part in labour-supported causes.
To nominate a deserving young activist, download the nomination from the AUPE website. Nominations may be submitted by an AUPE member or group of members. Nominations do not have to be approved by an AUPE Local Council, but the committee encourages discussion at the Local Council.
The winner will be announced on Aug. 12 on the AUPE website and the committee will present the award to the individual at his or her worksite.
