Did you know there are funds available to each member for professional improvement directly related to their position?

In accordance with the IAWQ Collective Agreement clause 5-7.00, regular full-time or part-time employees are eligible for PIC (Professional Improvement Committee) funding. A regular part-time employee is defined as someone whose regular position is less than 75% of the workweek and they receive an automatic salary payment. Day Care Service positions must be 15 hours or more per week.

The PIC Committee are pleased to launch an electronic version of the PIC Application and Expense Claim forms as of Fall 2025. The forms are easily accessible on mobile devices, and no longer need to be printed or hand signed.

Simply follow the links to the forms below, which log in with your WQSB account to verify your identity. Fill in all the required fields to submit your application or expense claim.

• For applications, they will be automatically sent to your principal or manager for approval, then to the PIC Committee for final approval.
• For expense claims, they will be automatically sent to the PIC Committee who will process any approved reimbursements.

You will receive email notifications along the way to keep you updated on the status.
