OPSEU / SEFPO and the Ontario Federation of Labour are organizing a Queens Park Creative Action & Press Conference to take place on MONDAY, AUGUST @ 12 NOON!
We want to have a strong OPSEU / SEFPO presence at the demo, and are asking you as a local leader to help spread the word of this action and if possible, organize a local contingent to attend the lunch time event on August 8th. Some of our members are also working from home, and if they live in the vicinity of Queens Park or can use public transit to attend during lunch hour, that would be great!

In keeping with the theme of “May you be WELL” we are giving away a Fitbit to one lucky participant!
All you have to do is move. That's it. Get out and move. Physical activity is a great way to relieve stress, boost our moods, and stay healthy.
Snap a pic of you getting out and active. It doesn't have to be fancy but it does have to be fun. Walk the dog, chase the kids, ride a bike, just move.
Send your picture all month and we will post on May 31st. We will draw one name from the entries and that person will win a brand new Fitbit! Deadline for submission is Sunday May 30th.
It's just that easy! Send your pics to opseu.sector2@gmail.com. We will post on May 30th and draw live June 1st via Opseu Developmental Services Facebook page.
