Volunteers needed for First Nations
cultural event
June 19, 2012
The Assembly of First Nation (AFN) Annual General
Assembly (AGA) will be hosted in Toronto, July 16 -19, 2012. OPSEU is
one of the co-sponsors of the cultural events that will run concurrent
with the National Chief election. If you would like to get involved the
AFN AGA 2012 Host Committee is looking for volunteers.
This year is the 200th anniversary of the War of
1812. First Nations then played a significant role to shape the
Canada we know today. There are numerous events planned to highlight
and pay tribute to those warriors. A Memorial Procession and Service
will kick the week off, followed by an Art Exhibit of the Norval
Morrisseau collection, a free concert of First Nation talent, and a
theatrical performance of the First Nations contributions to the War
of 1812.
Everyone is welcome to help and/ or participate.
To register to volunteer or more information please
call 1-416-443-8888 or 1-800-276-7376 or email
OPSEUCommunicationsDepartment@opseu.org
