Unifor proud sponsor of Fast In The 6

Presidents_message

To all GTA members,

In a celebration of diversity and inclusion, I invite you to join me at the annual Fast In The 6 event on June 1 at Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square.

Unifor is the proud Presenting Sponsor of the Fast In The 6, which marks Ramadan with an evening featuring live entertainment, fireworks and food as those gathered share in the common experience of breaking of the fast.

All members of the public are invited to attend this free event, which drew thousands last year with even larger numbers anticipated at this year’s celebration.

The event will open at 7:30 p.m. with the breaking of the fast scheduled for approximately 9:00 p.m.

A portion of funds raised will be donated to the Daily Bread Foodbank. For more information visit www.fastinthe6.com

I look forward to sharing this wonderful cultural festivity with you.

 

In Solidarity,

Jerry Dias     Unifor National President

Unifor 1996-O Scholarships – Deadline Approaching, Submission due May 31 2018

 

The deadline is fast approaching to get your application submitted.

We in Local 1996-O are concerned about the lives of our members’ families and their education.  Due to high tuition fees we recognize that post-secondary education is out of reach for many working-class. To assist, we’ve established 2 scholarships worth $1,000.00 each. One in memory of the late Brother, Milos Petrasinovic and Brother, Alwa Marcelle.

The scholarships are awarded to sons/daughters of Unifor 1996-O members in good standing.  Students must be entering their first year of full-time post-secondary education (university, community college, technological institute, trade school, etc.) in a public Canadian institution. 

These are entrance Scholarships only and are not renewable for students entering subsequent years of study.

Deadline for submitting an application is May 31 2018

The selection of candidates will be chosen no later than June 29, 2018 and will be final.
