“To All Members:
For your information, the Union is forwarding words of condolence to our brothers and sisters in the United States.
Once again St. Catharines Local 485 Professional Firefighters Association had a great time supporting and being a part of the Labour Day Parade. Stay safe #unionproud
Labour Day, the 1st Monday in September, has been a statutory holiday in Canada since 1894.
It is a day of rest and, for unions & labour activists, a day to celebrate the accomplishments of the labour movement & the benefits of having a union at work.
We support our teams going to Canadian National Championships in three weeks at @LambtonCollege Sarnia. Good Luck- we will all be cheering for you! – at Thorold, Ontario
