EDMONTON – AUPE’s standing Occupational Health and Safety Committee is now accepting nominations for the 2010 Rolyn Sumlak Award, to be presented at Convention in October. Nominations must be received by the committee by Sept. 3.

Chapter chairs should submit nominations to their Local chairs as soon as possible. Local chairs must then submit their nominees to the committee via email to Megan Johnston, or by mail to:

Rolyn Sumlak Award Committee

Nominations should include the nominee’s name, work site, and a summary of achievements in occupational health and safety.

Upon completion of the award process, arrangements will be made to have the successful nominee receive the award at the 2010 Convention.

The Rolyn Sumlak award was commissioned by Local 012 in 1990, in recognition of Rolyn Sumlak’s untimely death on the job and activism in occupational health and safety. The award is presented to an AUPE member who has demonstrated significant activism in occupational health and safety at the work site.
