Truth & Reconciliation Day – Orange Shirt Campaign for Local 53

Good afternoon Members!

Acknowledging and Honoring Truth and Reconciliation Day

September 30th is recognized as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to honor
the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. It is a day to reflect on the
devastating legacy of the residential school system and to commit to the ongoing process of
reconciliation.

Orange Shirt Day

To mark this important day, our union is once again offering orange shirts for sale. Wearing an
orange shirt is a way to show your support and commitment to the principle that Every Child
Matters. All proceeds from the shirt sales will be donated to the Orange Shirt Society, which
supports reconciliation efforts and raises awareness about the residential school system.
The shirts cost $5 each.

How to Order Your Shirt

To place an order, please send an email to our Communications Officer at
cupe53comm@gmail.com. In your email, include the following information:
 Your Name

National Day of Mourning – April 28

Today, April 28th, we honour our Brothers and Sisters who have been killed or suffered an injury in the workplace. 🖤
“On this Workers’ Day of Mourning, let’s remember why it’s so important to stand up for health and safety at work. Let’s use this day to learn more about how we can protect ourselves and our coworkers, and to commit to making our workplaces safer for everyone. By doing this, we honour the memory of the workers we have lost and build a future where everyone comes home from work safe and sound.”
