TIMMINS, ON – Kunuwanimano Child & Family Services and CUPE 5304 are pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached. Both parties will recommend ratification to their respective constituents.

We acknowledge that during the negotiation, CUPE 5304 released a statement that caused offence to the communities we serve. For that, CUPE 5304 unequivocally apologizes.

We are grateful to work with Indigenous communities on prevention-focused service delivery and child welfare. The Indigenous children, youth and families we work with are a source of inspiration. Their resilience and determination provide daily lessons to staff and our organization as a whole.

We value our partnership with Indigenous communities, and we are committed to delivering services that earn their respect.
