The North of 49° Assembly Committee is pleased to announce that the Winnipeg GMB of Manitoba, Canada, has agreed to host the Assembly on June 13-14, 2009.

The committee is now working in earnest on putting together a program of panels, workshops and presentations that will help build the One Big Union in Canada.

Program proposals to date include:

- Building Industrial Union Branches from General Membership Branches,

- race and organizing,

- the Working Homeless in Canada and the US, and

- the IWW and the Canadian labour movement.

Hope to you see you there!
