Great visit by David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development at the OETIO Morrisburg campus this morning. He spoke with Business Manager Mike Gallagher and indicated his support of Union training centres like ours. He also toured the facility, spoke to students, and broke in the brand-new CAT bulldozer we received from the ACG Apprenticeship Capital Grant.

  We believe in what Terry Fox started, and we’ll continue to support his cause! There was an amazing turnout at the Terry Fox Run in Oakville, ON. President Dave Turple, executive board members, Local 793 staff members, and supporters participated and raised over $5,100 for cancer research. Filled with passion and inspiration, participants walked, ran, biked, rollerbladed, or used a wheelchair to navigate the route. Thank you to everyone who took part in making a difference!

On behalf of myself, the Officers, Executive Board and Staff of IUOE, Local 793, I wish you and your loved ones a happy Labour Day long weekend.

As we celebrate Labour Day, let us take a moment to honour the hard work and dedication each of you brings to your craft daily. Your skills and commitment are the backbone of our success and the strength of our Union.

This Labour Day, we recognize not only the achievements of our past but also the ongoing efforts that continue to shape a better future for all of us. Your solidarity and perseverance drive us forward and strengthen our collective voice.

Enjoy this well-deserved break and remember that our unity is our greatest asset. Together, we build the future.

I invite all members and their families who are able to march to attend one of the many parades held around the province on Monday. Additionally, members are welcome to attend an area picnic and enjoy the day with their family and fellow members following the march (Sunday in Oshawa).
