Aug 15, 2026 - How to Organize your Workplace

When: August 15-16

Having problems at work and are not sure what to do? Have you heard about unions and want to know how to get started? Do you lack the confidence to talk to your coworkers about forming a union? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the How to Organize Your Workplace course is for you!

Over two days participants will learn what it takes to go from zero organization at work to a functioning committee of coworkers that can take on the boss and win! Together we will learn and practice the ideas, methods, and skills necessary to build power at work. The course will also feature a general discussion of unions: strengths and weaknesses, potentials and limits, and why organizing at work should be a top priority for those who want a better world.

Registration deadline: August 8.

When: August 13th, 12pm

Through an evidence-informed approach, participants will be encouraged to critically assess common assumptions and consider how sport can be made more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

This webinar is generously supported by Health Canada.
