UNA Local 196 Welcomes Paige Galette!

Paige Galette (elle.she.her) is a nationally-based community organizer and educator with a strong background in governance, policy, and employer-employee relations. Paige leads workshops on anti-racism and anti-oppression. She holds over 15 years of experience serving in leadership roles on NGO boards. Paige is a bi-weekly columnist for Panorama, a radio program on Radio-Canada BC-Yukon. In 2020, her essay From Cheechako to Sourdough: Reflections on Northern Living and Surviving, While Being Black was published in the national bestseller Until We Are Free: Reflections on Black Lives Matter in Canada (Rodney Diverlus, Sandy Hudson, Syrus Marcus Ware).

Following the events of 2020 and the pandemic, we have reached a quiet period in our activism and fight for anti-racism. Our labour movements need action, education, and support now more than ever. Paige Galette will guide us through the re-activation of our movement by presenting the questions needing answered: “How did we get here?”, “Where are we going?” and “Where do we need to be?”. This presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
