Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Re: COVID-19

Your health and the health of your families is incredibly important. I know the impacts of this are felt among work groups across the provinces. You are dealing with fast moving changes at work while also coping with the disappointment of trips bring cancelled, child care challenges and the effects of social distancing in your personal lives.

At a time when so much information is being shared - My message today is simple. Take care of yourselves. Take care of your families and loved ones and look out for your brothers and sisters. 

Please see the list below of current cancellations:

• 2020 Shop Steward School
• IBEW Hockey Tournament
• Construction & Maintenance Conference in Washington
• Eastern Winter School in Halifax

Regarding the upcoming April Unit Meetings, we are waiting for instructions and clarification from the International Office on how to move forward with nominations. Stay tuned for further changes. We will be providing updates as soon as they become available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Please be safe and keep up the outstanding work.

Fraternally,

Jim Sponagle
