Parks Canada ratification votes to be held July 17 to August 4

11/07/2023

Ratification votes for Parks Canada members will begin on July 17 and end on August 4 at noon ET.

In order for PSAC members to receive their new rates of pay, retroactive pay, and lump sum payment, the new agreements must first be ratified, and then signed. To ensure this ratification process is done as quickly as possible, PSAC will be conducting an expedited, virtual ratification process.

PSAC is using an online voting platform to securely manage the ratification vote process.
