Delegates' Council

The Delegates' Council is made up of the Executive Committee, the Delegates, and three Chief Delegates. There is one delegate per hiring unit, as defined in the Collective Agreements. For hiring units with more than 30 Teaching Assistants and/or Invigilators, there may be two Delegates. For hiring units with more than 100 Teaching Assistants and/or Invigilators, there may be up to three Delegates.

​

Delegates are elected by members of Unit 1 (TAs) and/or Unit 2 (Invigilators) who are employed in a given hiring unit, typically during their respective annual PGSA election. If such a process does not exist for that hiring unit, interested candidates may be elected during a Delegates' Council meeting. If this is the case for you, let us know if you would like to be a delegate for your department!

​

You can directly contact the Delegate affiliated with your department if you ever encounter a problem or have a question. If your department does not have a delegate, feel free to contact us directly with any questions or concerns.
