CUPE Saskatchewan is criticizing the provincial government for not providing enough supports to frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The institute’s state-of-the-art new home, Henley Hall, is now complete and technically open for business, though the ongoing pandemic has limited its occupation to critical research projects in accordance with state and county public health guidelines.
