Convention 2020

As the number of reported cases of the coronavirus rise in Canada, it is important that PSAC take precautions and act proactively to safeguard the health and safety of our members, staff, and the Canadian public. In keeping with recommendations from both local and national health authorities, PSAC has made the difficult decision to postpone all seven Regional Conventions. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and make efforts to reschedule at a future date. Please stay tuned.
