The Faculty Association administers Member Emergency Funding to help individual members under emergency circumstances due to a sudden loss or decline in remuneration from the University.
Member Emergency Funding is not intended to be used in cases where normal remuneration is inadequate for an individual’s expenses. Rather, this funding is available when there is an unexpected drop in remuneration, or when a personal emergency arises. This funding is not intended to replace the normal assistance available from government or other agencies.
In addition to current members, individuals who have held sessional, limited term or contingent term appointments which have recently terminated are eligible to apply. Relief may be provided as a grant, an interest-free loan, or as a combination grant/loan.
For more information on Member Emergency Funding, please contact Faculty Association Executive Director Sheila Miller, by phone, (403) 220-5722 or by email, [email protected].
All inquiries will be held in the strictest confidence.
Please read our Confidentiality Commitment.
