Message to Joint Learning Program Facilitators and Organizers
During the past few months we have been adopting practices in the Joint Learning Program (JLP) which are more environmentally friendly. As a result, effective November 1st 2010, the contents of the box which is currently shipped to every JLP workshop will be modified and sent in an envelope. The envelope will contain tent cards, participant certificates, promotional pamphlets, posters and a JLP “clip” which participants can use to assemble the documents they receive during the workshop. In addition, the envelope for Understanding the Collective Agreement workshops will also contain the “4-step” cards. As a result of these changes we will have significantly reduced the amount of paper distributed during our workshops and also reduced the weight of the materials we ship across the country. We appreciate your understanding during this transition and encourage you to contact the regional field coordinators in your region if you have any questions or concerns regarding this change. Thank you
