What is the best thing after spending an afternoon in the sweltering heat? Air conditioning! However, burgers and hot dogs are a close second, and the BBQ has both. Join fellow OPSEU/SEFPO members, their friends and families at the OPSEU/SEFPO Membership Centre as we wind down the weekend’s festivities.
Happy Pride!
