Passport Program

The Training Centre provides incentivized, ongoing training to its activists in order to keep them up-to-date on best practices.  All Health & Safety Committee Members are given a learning passport that is kept in the Training Centre.

  • Health & Safety Committee Members must attend our first course before taking any other classes:
    1. Level 1 Health & Safety
  • After that, all other courses may be taken in any order.
  • Members may have to take some courses in person in accordance with Manitoba law.
  • Each course taken after September 2020  is equal to one credit, and members receive a stamp (credit) for each course they attend.
  • WebCampus courses offered by UFCW Canada count equally in the Passport Program. 
  • Every five new credits is recognized as a new level and members receive a diploma, letter from our President and a $10 gift card.
    5 credits = level 1
    10 credits = level 2
    15 credits = level 3
    20 credits = level 4 (final level)
