Constables await report, as parking woes grow

As they wait for the Department of Labour’s Occupational Health and Safety report on their safety grievance, the U of S’s 27 security officers are holding firm in their more than three-week-long refusal to do many of their regular duties.

Fraser says the office Equity Committee put up the flags to increase awareness of the international diversity of students on campus. They’ve held two contests already – one for Registrar’s Office staff and another for everyone else – and awarded prizes to those who identified the most flags. Pharmacy student Karla Millar won a sweatshirt from the Centre Shop this month after identifying 55 of the colorful flags. Office staffer Kathy Link won use of an R-Lot parking spot for a month in the office contest. Fraser says the plan is to fly the flags from the ceiling until August.
