Hello!

I’ll be commencing my 7th year with the public service this September. Up until August 1 2026, I was part of the PSAC PA group, and I’m now part of the CP group.

Under the CP agreement, the service requirement to receive the additional 12.5 hours of vacation leave (one additional week) appears to have changed from the 8th year to the 7th year.

Would I receive the additional week this year, since I’m entering my 7th year, or would it not take effect until next year?

Also, I took 18 months of maternity leave beginning in 2022. Would that affect my anniversary/service date for the purpose of calculating vacation leave credits?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone successfully got rid of their acne with Doxycycline?

I’ve been using Winlevi cream for about a year with some success, but two weeks ago I asked my doctor to refer me to a dermatologist to be put on Accutane. She prescribed me doxycycline (42 days) and said if that didn’t help she then would refer me.

This antibiotic is super hard on my body (nausea, vomiting and headaches).. I want to continue giving it a try, but I want to know if it is even worth it with all the symptoms I go through.
