May 5th – National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls

Please help us recognize May 5th as it’s The National Day of Awareness for MMIW also known as Red Dress Day. This is a commemoration day for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two Spirit and Non-Binary people.
We invite you to wear RED, as many Indigenous nations believe that Red is the only colour spirits see. For more information about how The Red Dress Project started, check out artist Jaime Black https://www.jaimeblackartist.com/exhibitions/

This position paper regarding standardizing credentials for education assistants has been compiled by CUPE Research and National staff. Developed over the past number of years, this paper has been informed with input from CUPE K-12 members across the province, committees struck through the Provincial Framework Agreement, and CUPE National Research. “Standard Credentials for Education Assistants” outlines CUPE’s goals for credential standardization, asserts jurisdiction on the topic, and makes recommendations.
