WSH Wellness Book Giveaway
We have an exciting offer for members of the Seine River Teachers’ Association! Thanks to the Manitoba Teachers’ Society, we have secured a Workplace Safety and Health grant of up to $1000 to purchase wellness-themed books for members. We have chosen books that we hope will improve the psychological health and safety of any of our valued members. Of course, with a limited budget, we can only purchase a limited amount of books, which in this case means we will be providing thirty-eight books to SRTA members. The list of books is located at the end of this article.
To be eligible for a book, we ask members to submit their name on a simple online survey form via Microsoft Forms. We encourage members to fill out the survey no later than the end of the day on Friday, June 5, 2026 (limited to one entry per member). We will conduct a random draw on Monday, June 8, 2026, and present the list of recipients to Council on June 9, 2026. We will then notify the winners and send them a book once we receive them from our supplier McNally Robinson.
If you are an SRTA member, please visit https://www.srta.ca/wsh-books-2026 to submit your interest in receiving a book!
