Following USJE’s National Triennial Convention in July 2026, USJE’s National President, National Vice President and Regional Vice Presidents gathered in late October to develop USJE’s next three-year strategic plan.

On November 3, USJE Regional Vice-President Valda Behrens, along with a USJE Communication staff member, attended the Rural Municipalities Association (RMA) and Canoe Tradeshow on behalf of USJE.

Annie Blanchette, Regional Vice-President for Quebec (RCMP–Justice–PPSC–CSC Community–PBC) and Patrick Ménard, Regional Vice-President for Quebec, (CSC) appeared before the House of Commons Public Safety Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security on Monday, November 2nd.

On October 21, USJE Members from coast to coast joined PSAC’s monthly Day of Solidarity by wearing black in support of Treasury Board bargaining teams. 

Over the past 15 months, USJE has been regularly advocating for CSC to examine how it administers its RTW and accommodation processes and to ensure that it has consistent practices across the country.
