On Thursday, November 4, 2021, a Heritage Toronto plaque was unveiled on the corner of Church and Shuter Streets in Toronto, commemorating the location where Local 793 was founded. This corner is where the Elliott House Hotel stood and where the 11 founding fathers met on December 11, 1919, and requested a charter that would mark the birth of Local 793.
Below is the video of the unveiling where Business Manager Mike Gallagher, President Joe Redshaw, IUOE Canadian Regional Director Lionel Railton, visiting Professor of the Department of History at York University Gilberto Fernandes, and Heritage Toronto Plaque Manager Chris Bateman shared their thoughts about what this celebratory event represents.
