  • 2002 Annual Report 353 and the International Association of Machinists, Lodge 235, All of the Toronto Star
    Message from the President of the Board of Labour Community Services Poverty, the lack of affordable housing, cuts to social services – clearly the needs in Toronto are greater than ever. Family incomes have plummeted and inequality has increased. Homelessness remains an urgent problem, seniors are struggling, and many working families have difficulty making ends meet. These challenges were front and centre at the June 2003 Toronto City Summit. The City Summit Alliance was formed to address the challenges identified by a wide spectrum of groups and individual activists: finance, infrastructure, education, immigration and the underlying health of our regional economy. This coalition of 45 civic leaders, including labour, has issued a bold call to action, Enough Talk: An Action Plan for the Toronto Region. The Action Plan will surely be used as a test to all politicians that claim to represent our city, whether they serve at the municipal, provincial or federal level. We need every one of them to sign on to a commitment to a fair deal for Canada’s largest urban centre. Labour Community Services also plays a vital role in meeting these challenges, both through its education programs and community services, as well as its partnership with the United Way. LCS volunteers and staff had a very active year in 2002. Labour campaign volunteers actively encouraged union locals and members to get involved during the 2002 United Way campaign. It is not easy to ask working people to give generously when they are struggling to defend their own jobs or their incomes. During the year, both our city and provincial employees were forced out on strike.

  • Faster Together Campaign – a National Volunteer- Based Initiative Designed to Encourage Up-Take of COVID-19 Vaccinations
    Press Release Cross Canada Coalition Launches Campaign to Encourage People to Get Vaccinated as Soon as They Can FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ottawa, ON, May 28, 2021 – Today marks the launch of the Faster Together campaign – a national volunteer- based initiative designed to encourage up-take of COVID-19 vaccinations. Within a short period of time, dozens of organizations representing business, industrial and educational sectors, labour unions, as well as individuals have come together to help develop a campaign, around the theme “Getting vaccinated can bring us back together, faster”. The message is simple: the faster we all do our part and get vaccinated, the faster we can all get back together. This is how we get our lives and businesses back to normal and the business community is eager to help assure Canadians“ that vaccines are safe and effective. We’ll all get to the finish line faster by working together. — Perrin Beatty, President and CEO, Canadian Chamber of Commerce The volunteer Task Group is co-chaired by Bruce Anderson of Abacus Data & spark*advocacy, and Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress, and welcomes any organization or individual that wants to help use the creative materials the campaign will make available to reach people and encourage vaccinations. Vaccination is an important tool in the fight against COVID-19. Innovative initiatives like “Faster Together” bring organizations together to help encourage Canadians to get vaccinated when it’s“ their turn, protecting themselves and their communities, and helping us get back together, faster. — The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health The latest research by Abacus Data shows that 21% of Canadians are hesitant about getting a COVID-19 vaccination.
