GSU members, officers and staff gather at Sept. 7 anniversary of SWP strike

Commemorating the 1994 Strike with an evening of Reconnection and Reflection

On the evening of Sept. 7 in Regina, SK, GSU hosted a come-and-go event to commemorate the 1994 strike against Saskatchewan Wheat Pool (SWP).

The gathering brought together a diverse group of attendees, including original strikers, former and current officers, union staff, and friends of GSU and the broader labour movement.

The evening was filled with lively conversations as participants shared both new and old stories, reminisced about the past and caught up on the present. The atmosphere was warm and nostalgic as everyone reflected on the significance of the 1994 strike and the enduring bonds it created.

As often happens during get-togethers, we were so busy reconnecting that we forgot to capture photos until the night was done. We extend our apology to those who aren’t included in this group photo.

Thank you to everyone who dropped by to share the evening. The memories and camaraderie we shared will remain with us.
