You’re invited! All Camosun College Faculty Association Members are encouraged to attend the Winter General Meeting on Thursday, February 12, 2026 from 10:30 to 12:00 PM.
Location: HYBRID: In-person: Y-201 (Lansdowne) or Online: Zoom (see link and details in your Outlook Invite)
Please check your Outlook Calendar to make sure you’ve received our invite and link. If you haven’t received an invite, please contact us.
This is an important meeting for all Term AND Continuing Faculty members. If you’ve never attended a CCFA General Meeting before, GMs are held virtually, and run on-time or even occasionally conclude early. We’ll review our budget actuals, hear Executive Reports, confirm new appointees, and give you the chance to share feedback with your Union Executives on how we’re doing — plus, you could win door prizes or swag!
Remember, ALL MEMBERS have the right to attend, even if this meeting conflicts with your teaching schedule – you just need to politely inform your Dean or Director that you won’t be available to teach during the meeting.
Clause 23. Union Rights
23.04 Release Time
(b) Professional Meetings
(ii) Up to four (4) times a year Faculty Members covered by this Agreement will be released at their request from their classes or from other assigned duties in order to attend meetings of the Union for up to two (2) hours on each occasion. When possible, the Union agrees to schedule such meetings so as to minimize disruption to students. The Dean or Director may cancel the classes or make other arrangements at the Dean or Director’s discretion.
This clause was written and bargained to make it possible for EVERYONE to make it to all of our meetings! Our General Meetings are only 1.5 hours, so there’s enough time to attend them all – even if all of them were in conflict with your teaching schedules.
As a reminder to faculty, we do not record General Meetings. You must be present (in-person or virtually) to vote on motions. Minutes of CCFA General Meetings are attached to the next GM invite the day of the meeting or can made available by personal request. Announcements for meetings, events, infosessions, workshops and other union news are available via “opt-in” subscription newsletters on our website, invites are distributed via the Camosun College CCFA listserv, and Confluence Blog digest.
Hope to see you there!
