To:      Our Members of the Union of Veterans’ Affairs Employees

I am writing to advise you of a change within the UVAE National Office.

Effective September 26, 2018 the UVAE National Executive Officers invoked By-Law 12 Section 1(i) and have removed Carl Gannon Jr., as National President of the Union of Veterans’ Affairs Employees.  As per By-Law 6, Section 3, effective September 27.

I, Virginia Vaillancourt will be assuming the position of Acting National President for UVAE.

Please rest assured that your National Executive Officers are working together to ensure continued service, representation and communication to our members across Canada.

As per our By-Law 6, Section 3 (i)., an election will be conducted within 90 days. Additional communication will be forwarded shortly on how this will transpire.

As some of you may have questions or inquires regarding this announcement, I am requesting Local Presidents and their members to direct any questions through to your Regional Vice-President, so they can work with you and respond to your inquires.

Thank you for your continued support and solidarity during this time.

In Solidarity,

Virginia Vaillancourt
Acting National President
Union of Veterans’ Affairs Employees
