Revised: Elections April 2023 - Voting Package and Update

Dear Members,

***The Union has been informed there was a technical glitch, and that an acceptance that was sent was never received on our end.  It was been investigated and has been deemed valid, it was verified that it was sent before the deadline and to the correct email address.
 
Due to this, there will now be a vote for WS YYC Stewards, as there is only 5 open positions available and 6 candidates now. 
 
We are sorry for this inconvenience, it was outside of our control, and we understand the frustration it will cause. ***


Below is the information for voting and acclaimed positions that do not require a vote. The voting link will be sent out April 25th.
There will be another election in May due to Grievance Committee elections and WS YEG base opening with the requirement for WS YEG OHS roles, as a result all vacant position will run again at that time.
