Registering for Events – Members

As a member of UNA, Members are eligible to attend Events organized by your Local, as well as workshops provided by UNA’s Educators.

Currently, you can register for Events through DMS Web, or the iOS app.

Event Types

  • Local Event: Local events are controlled completely by the Local.
  • Workshop: The Executive Board of UNA has established a set of guidelines for Provincial workshops that will assist in helping you determine which sessions you might attend or explain why you are ineligible for a particular event.
  • Provincial: All provincial sessions have a restriction of 5 Members from a given Local in order to provide the option to as many Locals as possible.

    If you have exceptional circumstances that might override the provincial regulations outlined, contact your Local Executive for assistance.  If it is felt that you would benefit from the session a request for special consideration will be sent via email to events@una.ca
