Edmonton Christmas Party

Good day Brothers and Sisters

As I posted the other day the Edmonton Christmas Party is sold out. Unfortunately there are still some members calling to purchase tickets including some that are eligible for years of service pins.

As such the office has started a waiting list for these members. So if there are any members who have tickets and are unable to attend please contact the union office, so that we can give these members an opportunity to attend.

Thank you all and Merry Christmas

Adult Christmas Party – EDMONTON

Good afternoon, the Edmonton Christmas Party is now SOLD OUT. Thank you to everyone who bought their tickets prior to the deadline and we look forward to seeing you there. 

On a side note, the Calgary Christmas party that was this past Saturday, December 5th, was superb, and I would like to extend a very sincere thank you to Pat and Laurie Tilley for all of  their hard work and dedication to making this event a success.

Please be advised that the Alberta apprenticeship board did not confirm a number of potential members apprenticeship status. As such their names could not be put forward this month for membership. Once confirmation is received the names will be put forward at the next general membership meeting.

Oath of Obligation / Oath of Membership / Swearing in of Members

Good day Brothers and Sisters

As per the Local 110 Working rules and bylaws all new members must attend the new member orientation and part of this orientation the new members will take the Obligation of membership as per the International Constitution and Bylaws.

Due to this change in Local 110 bylaws the October 2015 General Membership Meeting and Information Meetings will be the last time members will be able to take the Obligation of membership at a meeting and if not completed will have to attend the day long new member orientation in the future. If you have not completed the Oath you will not be issued an international membership card.

I strongly recommend that any member that has not yet completed being sworn into Local 110 make sure they attend and complete the Obligation of membership at one of the October meetings.
