Une étudiante à la maîtrise examine ses factures en se demandant comment elle va pouvoir les payer.

PSAC is pleased to offer a series of webinars on anti-racism, specifically, to better understand the experiences of Indigenous, Black, and racialized workers and how we can dismantle racism in workplaces and unions.
