Please be advised that all Local 793 monthly district meetings scheduled in February are cancelled until further notice.
This decision comes as a result of the Ontario government’s newly announced public health and workplace safety measures of fifty per cent (50%) capacity limits for indoor gatherings, beginning Monday, January 31, 2022.
Adhering to these new measures, Local 793 cannot safely conduct meetings in locations across the province that do not lend themselves well to physical distancing policies – even at 50 per cent capacity. As a result, district meetings in February are cancelled until Public Health Ontario deems it safe to gather indoors under increased or lifted capacity limits.
Phase 2 of Ontario’s plan in easing public health measures is set to begin on February 21. The resumption of monthly district meetings will be re-evaluated at this point.
Local 793 continues to comply with the Ontario government’s public health and workplace safety measures and takes every precaution to ensure the health and safety of its members and staff.
Please contact a local area office HERE if you have any questions.

The Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) has determined that protective eyewear is required to prevent droplet exposure for workers who work within 2 metres of each other, both indoors and outdoors. The use of protective eyewear is in addition to wearing appropriate masks to help keep yourself and others safe from getting and spreading COVID-19. COVID-19 is transmitted through the air via infectious droplets, therefore, to reduce the risk of transmission, all points of entry need to be protected. With a mask, we protect two points of […]
The Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) has determined that protective eyewear is required to prevent droplet exposure for workers who work within 2 metres of each other, both indoors and outdoors. The use of protective eyewear is in addition to wearing appropriate masks to help keep yourself and others safe from getting and spreading COVID-19.
COVID-19 is transmitted through the air via infectious droplets, therefore, to reduce the risk of transmission, all points of entry need to be protected. With a mask, we protect two points of entry, the mouth and nose. A third point is the eyes.
KN95 and N95 masks are the approved facial coverings for protection against COVID-19, including the Omicron variant. Woven cloth masks and one layers masks offer the least amount of protection because they do not effectively filter out contagious particles.
Your Union is in the process of delivering one box of 10 KN95 masks to all members in good standing. The KN95 masks should arrive to members’ homes via mail by the end of January. The quality of the mask you wear is important, and Local 793 wants to help protect you and your family during this current outbreak.
