Dear APSA members,
In light of the orders of BC and Vancouver health officials concerning COVID-19, the staff at the APSA office are doing the majority of their work remotely.
We are still available to support you, our members, so do not hesitate to contact us either by phone (778.782.5423) or email (apsa@sfu.ca, assist@sfu.ca, apsacomm@sfu.ca) with anything related to your terms and conditions of employment.

As the COVID-19 situation evolves, we understand that this is an uncertain time for you, our members. The Government of Canada has considerably increased its response to the pandemic.
APSA is in close communication with the University to safeguard you, our membership, and the broader SFU community. We hope that you have received the ongoing communications sent by SFU. The most recent one is copied below.

Each month, the Advocacy Committee answers your questions about the AD 10 polices (aka, your terms and conditions of employment.)
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a relaxing and restorative break. As we settle into the new semester, I wanted to update you on where we are in preparation for bargaining. The APSA Bargaining committee has and will be meeting every week to refine and prioritize its proposals and assign and work through tasks for each proposal category to best prepare us for bargaining.
FREE STUFF!!!
