On behalf of myself, the Officers, Executive Board and Staff of IUOE, Local 793, I would like to wish you and your little ghosts and goblins a Happy Halloween.
Whether you’re trick-or-treating, attending a costume party, or just enjoying some eerie decorations, Local 793 hopes you have a memorable evening filled with spooky fun, laughter, and of course, plenty of tasty treats.
Remember to keep children safe by having them wear reflective clothes. And, of course, keep an eye out for any spooky things that might go bump in the night.

A memorial plaque honouring former Local 793 Executive Board member and Honourary Lifetime member Kenneth (Ken) Boyle was unveiled at the Sarnia YMCA (Jerry McCaw Family Centre) on Tuesday, October 24.
Brother Boyle, who passed away on February 11, 2021, after a 50-year career that saw him work in the earthmoving and pipeline sectors before becoming a crane operator, took his personal fitness seriously and was a popular figure at his local YMCA, where he spent much of his free time.
After his death, Local 793’s Executive Board voted to donate $15,000 on behalf of members to the YMCA in Sarnia, with the money being used to ensure almost 100 children and seniors will be able to access a subsidized membership over the next five years.
Local 793 Business Manager Mike Gallagher shared some of his fondest memories of Ken at Tuesday’s ceremony, which was also attended by Ken’s brother and retired executive board member Bill, retired Southwest Ontario supervisor Bob McQueen, retired Sarnia business rep Vince Prout, current Southwest Ontario supervisor Steve Booze, and Sarnia business reps Mike Barons and Paul Knight.
The plaque honouring Brother Ken Boyle and his legacy will be affixed to the wall in the YMCA’s cycle training room, where he enjoyed so many happy hours.

The Ontario Building Trades Council had to find room for two new chairs to add to the executive board table that presided over the council’s 66th annual convention this month.
The new faces at the executive table in Windsor during the Oct. 11 to 13 convention represented the International Union of Operating Engineers, which signed on this summer after a 10-year absence, and LIUNA, which returned to the fold last December.
The unions become the 14th and 15th building trades on the council.
“Our members work very closely with the Labourers’ on most occasions and we prefer to have a good, friendly relationship with them,” Local 793 business manager Mike Gallagher said.
