Red Seal Education Allowance Entitlement
Hi Everyone:
I wanted to remind everyone of the change contained in our new collective agreement regarding Education Allowance. Anyone who holds two (2) or more “Red Seal” endorsed trade certificates is entitled to an annual allowance of $1500. And this is retroactive to July 1, 2017.
If you qualify for this allowance, please contact Employee Services as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Al
