    CUASA Communiqué

    CUASA began as the Carleton College Academic Staff Association with its first meeting on November 18, 1952, and later certified as the first academic staff union in Ontario on June 18, 1975. Even prior to certification, CUASA issued newsletters to provide updates to our members on the work of the Association and issues that may be relevant to their careers at Carleton.

    These newsletters have had various titles attributed to them since they began, such as just “Newsletter” or “News from CUASA”, and they always had a Volume and Issue number starting with Volume 1 in 1970. Beginning in September 1991, these newsletters were rebranded as the “CUASA Communiqué”, and continued under that name until March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

    With the onset of the pandemic, CUASA paused our usual newsletters and began issuing more frequent “CUASA Updates” as the COVID-19 situation developed. Those updates gradually became less frequent, but we continued to call them the “CUASA Update”.

    As of September 2023, we’ve gone back to our roots and are proud to reintroduce “The CUASA Communiqué”. The blog loop below shows online versions of the CUASA Communiqué.

    Other publicly available CUASA updates can be found with other posts in the news category here.

    Tomorrow marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It is a time to recognize the intergenerational harm caused by the residential school system that continues to impact Indigenous families and communities. There will be a commemorative gathering on Parliament Hill from 1:00 – 2:30pm. We encourage members to wear orange shirts and participate. Those interested can join CUASA and the Ottawa and District Labour Council (ODLC); we will be meeting outside the Labour Council office (280 Metcalfe Street) at 12:30pm and walking together to Parliament Hill.Photo by chris robert on Unsplash: unsplash.com/@chris_robert
