Are you aware that a PSAC NCR Pride Committee exists in the National Capital Region? In fact, we have been meeting and growing since 1991.

Our objectives are:

• To achieve equality for Lesbian and Gay members.

• To provide an informal forum for the discussion of work-related issues specific to Lesbian and Gay members.

• To actively support work-related concerns of Lesbian and Gay members.

Please join us! We usually meet at 5:00 p.m. either in the Boardroom at the Ottawa RO, 15 Holland Avenue, Ottawa or in the Boardroom at the Gatineau RO, 200 promenade du Portage. Check our events calendar for our meeting dates. 

Members of the Pride Committee in the NCR decided to allow for two Co-Chairs to ensure gender balance. Elections took place and the results are:

Co-Chair (Female) - Donna Lackie (GSU) donna.lackie@pwgsc.gc.ca

Co-Chair (Male) - Larry Rousseau (NAT) rouslar@gmail.com

Treasurer - Franèois Brochu (NAT) fbrochu27@hotmail.com

Please join me in congratulating Donna, Larry and François on their victories.
