"By completing my Paramedicine degree, I have so many more opportunities."

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I mostly chose to study at UPEI because of the Bachelor of Science opportunity they provide for paramedics. There are only a few other paramedicine degree programs in Canada and they vary greatly from UPEI's. It was also convenient to be close to home, not to mention the financial benefits to studying on PEI as an Islander. It is also great to be able to work in my field while furthering my education!

Tentative agreement reached with CUPE 1870

The following statement was also issued to UPEI faculty and staff by email on May 14, 2026.  

UPEI has reached a tentative agreement with CUPE 1870, following 3.5 days of negotiations this week. We want to thank both bargaining teams for their work to reach a timely agreement, and their professionalism and mutual respect throughout the process.

The tentative agreement is subject to ratification by both parties. Once ratified, it will form the new collective agreement between UPEI and CUPE 1870.

Negotiations commence with CUPE 1870

UPEI begins negotiations today towards a new collective agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees 1870 (CUPE 1870). Meetings are scheduled to take place from May 11–15.

We remain committed to respectful and constructive dialogue as we work to reach an agreement at the bargaining table that is fair for employees and sustainable for the long‑term health of our institution.

We will continue to share updates throughout the collective bargaining process. For more information, please visit UPEI’s Labour Relations web page.
