đź‘€ DID YOU KNOW?

June is National Indigenous History Month – and this June, we also mark the 300th anniversary of the 1726 Peace and Friendship Treaty. It's a powerful moment to reflect on the agreements that helped shape this country.

The Treaty wasn't just signed – it was negotiated. In December 1725, the Penobscot led talks in Boston on behalf of Indigenous allies. Mi'kmaw representatives then gathered at Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal to ratify the Treaty on June 4, 1726, with some nations ratifying as late as 1728.

🤝 The Treaty's terms were reciprocal: Indigenous Nations agreed not to interfere with British settlements, while the British committed to respecting Indigenous fishing, hunting, and harvesting. Those foundational terms were renewed and reaffirmed in subsequent treaties through 1749, 1752, 1760–61, and 1777–79.

📜 As we approach the 300th anniversary, it's worth asking: how well do we know the agreements that helped shape this country?

Two of your PEIASW executive members - Sarah (President) and Bruce (CASW Rep) - have been in Ottawa this week for the CASW Federation meetings on Monday and Tuesday, and participated in Hill Day on Wednesday.

Sarah had the opportunity to be in the House of Commons to hear the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor (Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe) make a statement on the CASW marking 100 years and the importance of continuing to support social workers.

Bruce participated in four meetings with various MPs to help advocate for the national priorities of the CASW.

This is a small sliver of what your Association does for you and the importance of supporting your local Association of Social Workers. Thank you to our members for this support!

On June 2, CASW was on Parliament Hill — bringing the voice of social workers directly to the people making decisions that shape the lives of the most vulnerable Canadians. Hill Day is CASW's opportunity to make sure that experience is heard where it matters most.

CASW is advocating for:

- The repeal of harmful changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) — cuts that are placing lives at risk and forcing health professionals into conflict with their ethical obligations
- The inclusion of social workers on the expanded list of practitioners who can verify disability for the Disability Tax Credit application — a gap that continues to limit access for the people who need it most
- Recognition of social workers as public safety personnel — because the work social workers do in crisis response, trauma support, and community safety deserves the same acknowledgment and protections afforded to other public safety workers

CASW is proud to stand alongside social workers and the communities they serve in pushing for a more just and equitable Canada.

Le 2 juin, l’ACTS s’est rendue sur la Colline du Parlement afin de faire entendre la voix des travailleurs sociaux directement auprès des décideurs qui façonnent la vie des Canadiens les plus vulnérables.

Les travailleurs sociaux sont en première ligne jour après jour. Présents dans les hôpitaux, les refuges, les écoles et les communautés, ils sont les témoins directs des répercussions des politiques débattues dans ces salles. La Journée de la Colline est l’occasion pour l’ACTS de s’assurer que cette expérience soit entendue là où cela compte le plus.

L'ACTS milite pour :

- L'abrogation des modifications néfastes apportées au Programme fédéral de santé intérimaire (PFSI) — des coupes budgétaires qui mettent des vies en danger et obligent les professionnels de la santé à enfreindre leurs obligations éthiques
- L’inclusion des travailleurs sociaux dans la liste élargie des praticiens habilités à attester d’un handicap pour la demande de crédit d’impôt pour personnes handicapées — une lacune qui continue de limitier l’accès aux personnes qui en ont le plus besoin
- La reconnaissance des travailleurs sociaux en tant que personnel de sécurité publique — car le travail qu’ils accomplissent en matière d’intervention en situation de crise, de soutien aux victimes de traumatismes et de sécurité communautaire mérite la même reconnaissance et les mêmes protections que celles accordées aux autres travailleurs de la sécurité publique
L'ACTS est fière de se tenir aux côtés des travailleurs sociaux et des communautés qu'ils servent pour promouvoir un Canada plus juste et plus équitable.

Statement made by the Honourable Wanda Thomas Bernard in the Senate today regarding social workers and the 100 years of the CASW.

06/03/2026

Happy Pride Month! June is a time for celebration and reflection as social workers across Canada honour the strength, joy, and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

Social workers have a responsibility to protect q***r and trans lives and to advocate for inclusive, affirming care. As we celebrate the right to live and love openly, CASW encourages social workers to:

- Learn more about 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences
- Advocate for safety and equitable policies
- Build meaningful relationships with q***r and trans communities
- Commit to providing care that is inclusive, empowering, and affirming
