Anand Vaid Memorial Bursary

Anand, like most who get involved with the union, began as a steward in the 90s at the Wascana Campus in Regina. He listened to his fellow co-workers and their plights and wanted to do more to assist them to understand and learn more about their rights and their collective agreement. Anand branched out to serve on several committees to assist others and also gain a better understanding of how best to represent his co-workers.

Tracey Kurtenbach Memorial Bursary

Tracey started her work as a steward for the members of the Professional Services bargaining unit and then as the local campus chairperson. She went on to become the bargaining committee chairperson and steered the membership through many significant changes and events.

Shawna was a very vocal and active member at the Moose Jaw Campus of Saskatchewan Polytechnic. She started as a steward at the then-named SIAST Palliser Campus. She worked hard to support the local members and went on to become campus chair in 2009.
