The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) convention held in Dauphin last week provided union members from around the province an opportunity to get together, discuss union business, honour some deserving individuals with awards and elect executive members.

It also provided an opportunity for provincial government representatives to network with CUPE members, connect with municipal leaders and familiarize themselves with the important projects and work underway in the community.

“It’s first and foremost a great opportunity to host (the convention) and and showcase Dauphin and the surrounding area,” Dauphin MLA and Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said, adding he also took the opportunity to introduce several of his caucus colleagues to the area.
