The Executive and membership of the Brandon University Faculty Association would like to express their sincere gratitude for the support we have received during the recent job action. We cannot express how much it has meant to us.

We are grateful to CAUT and the faculty associations at our sister institutions who sent words of encouragement and financial support.

We thank everyone who joined us on the picket line: students, members of other area unions, members of the general public, and the "flying pickets" from our sister institutions from across the country. Your resolve served as an inspiration for us.

We would especially like to thank the students of Brandon University, whose support, we believe, was instrumental in achieving a fair and equitable agreement which will serve as the basis for a better and stronger Brandon University.

On behalf of the Executive and all of the members of BUFA,

THANK YOU.

Bruce Forrest

BUFA President
