On July 1, many of us will gather with family and friends on a day set aside to honour Canada. As we celebrate all that Canada means to us, let us also take a moment to remember those around the world who are less fortunate and do not enjoy the same rights and freedoms we enjoy here. Canada has a long history of being a champion of human rights and we must continue to promote and protect those rights around the globe.
CUPE Local 500 members have a great deal to be proud of when we consider the important work we do in our community and the contributions we make towards the strength of our country.
The connections between all working people, wherever they live in the world, are brought home to us in Canada on July 1, and we wish all Local 500 members and Canadians a safe and happy Canada Day.
