About Regional Councils
Unifor’s Regional Councils and the Quebec Council are a democratic force for union activism, solidarity, and strength. They are forums of accountability and organizing centres that involve and engage local union activists in the life of the union.
Our next council will be taking place April 23 - 26, 2020 in Calgary, Alberta! Check back next year for more info.
