Glen Johnston, Northwest Manitoba Rep
Report to the Prairie Region Council
April 2013
At the October PRC meeting in Regina a By-Laws Committee was struck to review the PR By-Laws and the PSAC Prairie Region Council Representative Handbook which was presented to the Council for consideration for adoption to the Regulations of the PR By-Laws. It was determined that before adoption the Handbook needed to be vetted for consistency, accuracy and relativity and accordingly the By-Laws Committee was stood up. At this time I was acclaimed as the Chair of the Committee.
A preliminary conference call was held on the 27th of Nov 2012 to discuss our role as a committee and the Handbook. Details of this call can be found in the By-Laws Committee report submitted for the April PRC meeting to be held in Calgary.
Due to work, life and Local union issues I was not able to schedule a subsequent conference call but have asked and had scheduled a committee meeting for the 17th of April in Calgary. Our discussion will center on, but not be limited to, the roles and responsibilities of the PRC Reps.
I have also participated in the monthly PRC conference calls which have taken place since the PRC meeting in October.
