Nominate a GSU contributor for a Commemorative 90th Anniversary Coin

Posted on by

Ninety years is more than just a milestone; it’s a testament to nearly a century of solidarity, hard work, and the collective strength of the Grain and General Services Union. To celebrate our 90th anniversary, we want to look back at the people who have shaped our union into what it is today.

We are excited to announce the launch of our Commemorative Coin Program, and we need your help to decide who should receive one.

Every Contribution Counts

You don’t need to have led a massive movement to be recognized. We are looking for those who have contributed to GSU in a positive way, regardless of the scale.

Nominees do not need to be current members or officers.

Whether they are active in the workplace today, have retired, or moved on from GSU, we want to recognize anyone who has left a positive mark on GSU over the last nine decades.

Maybe it’s the colleague who always explains the collective agreement to new hires, the member who stood up for a coworker, or someone who has consistently shown up for their fellow members or for GSU over the decades. Whether the impact was epic or simply steady and kind, we want to celebrate those who have built our union’s legacy.

Make a Nomination

If you know someone—past or present—who has helped make GSU the organization what it is today, please put your nomination in writing.

  • Who: Name of the nominee.

  • Why: A short description of why you are nominating them and how they contributed to GSU in a positive way.

    Example 1: Vince welcomed me when I was a new hire and he explained to me why it was good to belong to GSU.

    Example 2: Cheryl was on our bargaining committee twice, and she was great. We got good deals and she kept us all in the loop throughout the process. Without her, I think we would have had a harder time. I really appreciate what she did for us all.

  • Submit: Send us your nomination by email to GSU@gsu.ca or mail it to 2334 McIntyre Street, Regina, SK S4P 2S2.

We are accepting nominations throughout 2026.

Let’s honour the people who make and have made GSU everything it is—a union we are proud of. We are looking forward to seeing who you choose to recognize.
