These lists will be updated as contact information becomes available. If your location is not listed, please send your nomination form to vote@cmg.ca
Please note:
Our union’s bylaws require a minimum of three executive officers for a LEC: a President, a Vice-president, and a Secretary-Treasurer.
Beyond that, executive committees can and are encouraged to build a structure that reflects the needs of members in the specific location unit. Click below to see current structures in different CMG branches:
