I am a representative of a District Council or Council of Unions. How many delegates are eligible to attend Convention 2015? District councils are entitled to bring two delegates per affiliated council. For councils of unions, one delegate per affiliated council of unions can attend Convention 2014. Representatives from district councils or councils of unions must hold membership in an affiliated local union in order to be eligible to attend.
What is an “alternate delegate”? Alternate delegates (also known as “Alternates”) are entitled to attend convention and also speak on issues, however they cannot vote unless a registered delegate from their local is absent, and has given their delegate badge to the alternate delegate.

Member locals must first elect their convention delegates from their membership, keeping in mind the maximum number of delegates and alternates that your local can send.
In February 2015, we will be mailing credentials to all locals that are paid up to December 31st, 2014. If you have any questions or concerns about the status of your locals per capita payments, please contact David Duquesnay at the CUPE Ontario office by phone at (905) 739-9739 x 616 or by email at dduquesnay@cupe.on.ca
Candace Rennick, Registration at Convention will begin at noon on Tuesday, May 26th. We are from a local union that has less than 100 members, is North of the French River, is newly affiliated, or is on strike, and we are having financial difficulty sending our delegates to convention. What options are available for us? Local Unions that meet certain criteria may apply to receive a travel and registration fee subsidy. Details and eligibility requirements are available on-line here.
