Two Local 500 members were welcomed into the Local 500 honourary life membership at a dinner held November 13, 2015. Also attending the dinner were current honourary life members who received their award in previous years.
Honourary life membership is awarded to outstanding CUPE members for their services given to the Local over an extended period of time. It may also be awarded for meritorious service to the Local. Life membership can be awarded when the person is within five years of retirement, after retirement or termination of their employment.
Our congratulations and thanks go out to Ted Yorke and Margaret Feliksiak for their dedication to our Union.
