UFCW Canada youth activists bring their passion to Atlantic YIP
UFCW Canada young activist members from across Eastern Canada gathered in Memramcook, New Brunswick for the 2011 Atlantic Regional session of the Youth Internship Program (YIP). The fourteen participants — from UFCW Canada Local 1252 in Newfoundland, Local 1288P in New Brunswick and Local 864 in Nova Scotia — got together October 2-7, to learn more about their union and the important role it plays in their workplace and community.
TUAC Local Unions across Quebec were a beacon of hope at two recent Light the Night events by raising $200,000 in total for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC).
An October 17 media conference outside of Vancouver's Mexico Consulate drew dozens of UFCW Canada and AWA activists along with community allies — all calling for Mexico to stop hiding behind diplomatic immunity and face the charges that agencies of the Mexico government, as well as its Vancouver consulate, conspired with two agriculture operations in the Lower Mainland to blacklist migrant agricultural workers from returning to Canada because they were union sympathizers.
UFCW Canada Local 1869's recent 8th Anniversary Picnic was a huge success, with this year's event attracting its largest turnout ever. More than 900 Local 1869 members enjoyed this year's festivities, and at the same time shared their goodwill with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) and with Winnipeg Harvest food bank.
