National Braille Day
Feb 21 all-day
Did you know that CUPE728 has members that work with students and staff that require the use of Braille?  February 21 is World Braille Day, celebrated since 2019, is observed to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people. We thank all our CUPE728 members that work with both staff and students that use Braille.

What is Braille?

Braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols using six dots to represent each letter and number, and even musical, mathematical and scientific symbols. Braille (named after its inventor in 19th century France, Louis Braille) is used by blind and partially sighted people to read the same books and periodicals as those printed in a visual font.
Braille is essential in the context of education, freedom of expression and opinion, as well as social inclusion, as reflected in article 2 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Whether your in Trades or Non-Trades, CUPE728 wants to make sure that all of our Maintenance Workers know they are highly valued and appreciated. On the surface, maintenance work may seem like a behind the scenes kind of business. In reality, it is essential to the functioning of our schools. Maintenance workers ensure our entire community has access to safe and functioning schools.  On the first Friday of March, we dedicate that day to all the Maintenance Workers in Surrey Schools.  Without them, our schools would not function.  Thank you!

World Plumbing Day
Mar 11 all-day

World Plumbing Day recognizes the critical link between health and plumbing facilities. Indeed, the bathroom plays a significant role in maintaining our health all around the world. Everybody understands the role of sanitized, plumbing solutions to cut germs in their paths.

Just how many germs live in your bathroom is unclear, but it’s the place where you can find some of the most harmful bacteria, such as bacillus, gram-negative rods, cocci, and gram-positive rods. These different bacteria types are harmful to the human population and can cause a variety of health concerns such, skin infections and pneumonia. Some types are also resistant to antibiotics, which brings a completely new meaning to World Plumbing Day.

Indeed, good plumbing is not just a nice thing to have to keep your bathroom looking pretty. It’s the safest and quickest way to maintain and protect your health.
