IT’S THE 2025/2026 SCHOOL YEAR!!!

WELCOME BACK TO ALL 5600+ CUPE EDUCATION WORKERS FROM THE NSSBCU

WHAT A SUMMER IT HAS BEEN, TOO BAD IT HAD TO END! HOPEFULLY THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS A POSITIVE ONE!

The council meets monthly; the last meeting was on August 8th. A bit of downtime this past July was a good thing, because we are all going to be busy as the school year starts!

What a summer! Nelson, Gerrard, Jenny Lynn, Shelley, Kevin, Jennifer, Andrew and the two Roberts warmly welcome our members, all other school staff, and especially the new and returning students across Nova Scotia back for a new school year!!

For new(er) CUPE members, we want to introduce the NSSBCU. (The Nova Scotia School Boards Council of Unions) includes the presidents of the eight CUPE locals representing school support staff across the province, along with myself, the council communications officer. We are also supported by CUPE staff, including the servicing representative and sector coordinator Mary Fougère.

The council meets monthly; the last meeting was on August 8th. A bit of downtime this past July was a good thing, because we are all going to be busy as the school year starts!

As always, we are looking forward to supporting each other and supporting our fellow members. Please reach out to the president of your local with questions or concerns.

In Solidarity,

Nelson Scott L5050, Gerrard Matthews L955, Jenny Lynn Wardrope L3890, Shelley McNeil L5047, Kevin Carther L3876, Jennifer Cox L4682, Andrew Weaver L964, Robert Amero L2272, and Robert MacKay, NSSBCU Communications
