Dear Chantal: The Glenbow union (it is a CUPE local) elects a union member who sits as an ex-officio member on Glenbow's Board of Trustees. This practice was begun a couple years ago, after Glenbow's reorganization, when there was a movement to work in greater collaboration between management and the union. Hope things are going well for you in Ottawa. It was nice to hear from you via Museum-L. Sincerely, Sandra Morton Weizman
