The CUPE 5430 executive was saddened to hear about Eden Care Communities’ decision to cease all operations of Regina Lutheran Home, resulting in a full closure of the facility and displacement of residents by April 11, 2024.
We are disappointed to hear that the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has no intention of taking over operations of Regina Lutheran Home. This will have a huge impact on residents, families, and our members who are affected by this closure.
As this process continues, our primary goal will be to stand up for our members, their jobs, and their rights under the collective agreement regarding layoff procedures.
On that front, representatives from CUPE 5430, Linda Renkas, Rhonda Osipoff, and Janell Hubbard, met with management at Eden Care Communities and the SHA on October 4 to discuss the closure of Regina Lutheran Home.
REGINA: Eden Care Communities announced its decision to close Regina Lutheran Home on Monday, September 25, 2023. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has said they will not take over the facility, leaving 62 residents and over 100 staff reeling. Now the union representing staff at the facility is calling for the SHA to take over the facility.
“The closure of Regina Lutheran Home is yet another example of how this government is failing seniors. Their lack of planning on this file is absurd,” said Bashir Jalloh, president of CUPE 5430. There is a low vacancy rate for long term care spaces in Regina. This closure will cause ripple effects throughout the Regina area. Wait lists that are already too long will grow longer, not to mention that over 100 staff will be impacted.”
Darlene Gilewich, first Regional Vice-President of CUPE 5430 Region 3 has worked at the Regina Lutheran Home for almost 40 years.

Inspired by the story of residential school survivor Phyllis Jack Webstad, people across Canada have commemorated September 30 as Orange Shirt Day for nearly a decade.
As a young girl, Phyllis was given a new orange shirt by her grandmother before being taken to a B.C. residential school. The shirt was confiscated and destroyed by her teacher on the first day of class. The destruction of Phyllis’s shirt has come to symbolize the colonial goal of residential schools to assimilate Indigenous peoples.
CUPE 5430 is hosting an informal virtual meeting for its members as an opportunity to connect.
This session will be on the topic of benefits.

The Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU) at the University of Regina is undertaking an independent research study that CUPE Local 5430 is funding to better understand the changes in rural health care in Saskatchewan over the past five years.
