Events

The UWSA is coordinating with Human Resources and the University’s EAP provider to offer small group sessions on September 12 and 27, to help members process the events of June 28 and any impacts on you and your work.

We are starting our compensation discussions with the university for a new salary agreement starting May 1, 2024, and we want to hear more from you about what you want to see achieved in this next round of talks. 

We’re hosting a salary town hall on Monday, December 11, from 12:30 to 1:50 p.m., during which we’ll explain the process that takes place at the Provost's Advisory Committee on Staff Compensation, and—more importantly—hear about your priorities for the upcoming discussions.

Join us for a lunchtime workshop exploring how staff perspectives help shape decisions across the University, where the UWSA has influence, and the ways staff can participate and make their voices heard.

All UWSA members are invited to attend our 2026 Annual Meeting on October 22 at 9:30 a.m. We are offering a hybrid meeting again this year, on Teams and in E5-6008.

This clever adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the glamour, intrigue, and suspense of the celebrated novel, alongside a healthy dose of dark humour to create a deliciously thrilling ride and ingenious murder mystery.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.

UWSA exclusive pricing is $50 for each adult ticket and $35 for youth (under 20 years old).

Hosted by our partners at the Sustainability Office and Food Services.

Soup season is here! Come eat a variety of soups while learning different tips and tricks on how to stretch your grocery budget, eat well, reduce waste, and lower your carbon footprint. End off the workshop by making three different take-home dry soup mixes to enjoy or share.
