We are pleased to inform members that the 2026 PSAC NCR Treasury Board Mobilization Summit will be We are pleased to invite members in the National Capital Region to the 2026 PSAC-NCR Treasury Board Mobilization Summit, which will be held in-person on August 22, 2026.

This Summit is an important opportunity for members to come together, build our regional mobilization capacity, and prepare for the work ahead in this round of bargaining.

The conversations and planning that take place at the Mobilization Summit will help shape the next phase of mobilization in the NCR, including the work of a Regional Mobilization Committee. We are looking for members who are ready to take an active role in building power in their workplaces, supporting their locals, and helping sustain pressure throughout the bargaining process.

We are asking each PSAC Treasury Board Local in the NCR to nominate one member to attend the Summit.  The ideal participant is someone who is passionate about mobilization, interested in participating in the Regional Mobilization Committee, and is able to take on a leadership role in member engagement and potential strike action.

Participants do not need to be on their local executive to attend.  All PSAC-NCR Treasury Board members in good standing from the EB, PA, SV, and TC units are eligible to apply.

All delegates are expected to attend the full Summit.

More information will be provided in the delegate package before the event.

Summit Objectives

PSAC-NCR Treasury Board members will gather to learn together, build relationships, strengthen solidarity and develop a shared plan for mobilization across the National Capital Region.

By the end of the Summit, participants will have worked together to:

• Strengthen their understanding of collective action and worker-to-worker solidarity;
• Build strategic awareness of escalation connected to bargaining milestones;
• Develop practical organizing and mobilization skills at the local and regional level;
• Strengthen leadership capacity and peer networks to support sustained mobilization;
• Identify concrete next steps for regional mobilization work.

The goal of the summit is to support members in building the skills, confidence, and relationships needed to keep members engaged and organized throughout bargaining.

We hope to offer relevant and action-oriented workshops, and meaningful space for strategic planning.
