Each year, the ONA Board of Directors selects a handful of workshops that highlight ONA work and the functioning of union business. The MEE Team schedules these workshops automatically in every ONA region in the province to ensure they are accessible for members.

In 2017, our Foundational Workshops are:

1. How to be a Great ONA Unit Representative (full-day)
2. Grievance Process (full-day)
3. Professional Responsibility Workload Reporting Process (full-day)
4. Webinar Series: Leaders Representing ONA Members
5. “Region’s Choice” – one of the following (selected by Local Coordinators at their October Area Coordinators Conference):
   1. Recognize and Report Violence in Your Workplace (full-day)
   2. Return to Work and Accommodation (full-day)
   3. 2 of the 5 workshops from our Health and Safety Series:
      • Internal Responsibility System (half-day)
      • Joint Health and Safety Committee (half-day)
      • Violence: Be Savvy and Safe (half-day)
      • The Power of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, ONA and You (half-day)
      • Managing Disruptive Physician Behaviour (lecturette)

Our new Webinar Series: Leaders Representing ONA Members replaces our half-day New Bargaining Unit President Grievance Chair Checklist Workshop in 2017. It is a webinar series that comprises six segments and is offered three times in 2017. Each segment is about 1.5 hours in duration and is open to all ONA members and CNSA students. The schedule for these webinars will be developed by the MEE Team and published in December of 2016. These webinar series serve all five ONA regions.
