The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 793, reached a significant milestone, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the IUOE Local 793 Non-Profit Housing Corporation (Local 793 NPH).
For three decades, Local 793 NPH, has been a beacon of hope, providing not just housing but a sense of community and belonging to a diverse group of individuals, including pensioners, single-parent families, the mentally and physically challenged, and others who have faced challenges in Toronto’s competitive real estate market.
The construction and development of the 15-storey residential building at 2020 Don Mills Road in North York began in the fall of 1991 and when completed two years later, the building included 221 separate rental units, consisting of 76 one-bedroom units, 124 two-bedroom units and 21 three-bedroom units. 130 of the units were subsidized and 14 of those were fully accessible.
The building officially opened on November 12, 1993.
The Local 793 NPH board of directors have continuously worked to maintain and improve the building itself and the amenities it provides, including the formation of a vibrant tenants’ association and seniors’ club and creating a children’s play area and gym. By focusing on the needs of residents and not the bottom line, IUOE Local 793 is proud of its legacy in creating a place that so many people continue to call home.

Today marks the beginning of Truth and Reconciliation Week, a chance for all Canadians to learn more about the history, culture and experience of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Turtle Island. The week will culminate on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – also known as Orange Shirt Day – on Saturday.

Today marks the beginning of Truth and Reconciliation Week, a chance for all Canadians to learn more about the history, culture and experience of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Turtle Island.
The week will culminate on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – also known as Orange Shirt Day – on Saturday. Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led commemoration begun to honour the children who never returned home from the residential schools they were forced to attend – as well as the survivors, their families and communities. It reminds us that Every Child Matters.
As a Union, Local 793 recognizes the role we can play in creating a brighter, more prosperous future for everyone. That is why we are reaching out to Indigenous communities across Ontario and Nunavut so that more Indigenous people can get the training they need to access good-paying jobs in the skilled trades.
More must be done. We must take some time this week to educate ourselves on the truth of our history with Indigenous peoples and reflect on what each of us can do now to further the cause of reconciliation. We should also remember that as Union members and Canadians we are always stronger when we stand together.
