Hey Everyone.

We have been asked by Minister Harrison and CIC Tim Highmore to attend the Legislator on Monday May 11/2026 to be recognized for the coal workers being affected by the NDP Grid and Grow Plan, as well along the time put in by Jody Dukart, Randy Seeman and myself over the last 9 years with the efforts to eliminate our industry and our jobs. This is Not only our jobs but the effects it would have on Estevan , Coronach and surrounding communities as well. With that being said,

I am looking for members on “A” shift to go to Regina to the Legislator. A shift is on days off and that why we are asking for those members along with Retirees. I booked 2 15 passenger vans. We will leaving from the union hall between 8:30 and 8:45 am.

Everyone will need Identification and be dressed accordingly to enter the Legislator. We will need to be at the Legislator for 11 am. If you are interested in going contact me directly at 306 421 1925 with questions and if you will attending.
