We are pleased to convene Unifor’s 5th Constitutional Convention which will be held August 25-29, 2025, at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The Convention will be called to order Monday, August 25, at 9:00 a.m. in the West Ballroom ABC on the first level.
Unifor’s Constitutional Convention offers members, activists, and local leadership from across the country the chance to celebrate shared victories, assess current challenges, and plan for the future of Canadian workers.
These unprecedented times require all of us to step up the fight to protect jobs in Canada, to build unity and solidarity, and to rise to the mounting challenges of the day. We strongly encourage Local Unions to take part in the Constitutional Convention, as we will chart the path for our union in the coming years.
There is no registration fee. Advance registration is required and is available only through our online registration system.
The deadline to register is July 26, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
The deadline for submission of Resolutions and Constitutional Amendments is May 27, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
We look forward to welcoming you in Vancouver and to working together to advance the interest of Unifor members and all working people!
