The CUPE NB Executive Board is pleased to announce that we will be holding a one-day Virtual Convention on June 25th, 2020 through the company FMAV.
Originally, our 57th Annual Convention that was set to be held at the Fredericton Inn from April 29th to May 2nd, 2020. The in-person meeting was cancelled due to the COVID-19 government restrictions.
