May Day, or International Workers' Day, commemorates the struggles and gains made by workers and the labour movement. We are thrilled to invite members who will be in the National Capital Region on May 11 to join us to celebrate!
A group of members have volunteered to organize a walking tour in Ottawa and help CAPE throw a picnic in Confederation Park to mark the occasion and bring our members together.
The more the merrier!
