Dear Brothers and sisters,
We will be celebrating the strides of the Labour movement by participating in the annual Labour Day Parades taking place around the Province. This is a great opportunity to come out, show your union pride and support the Boilermakers.
You will receive a t-shirt and hat for participating in the parade and remember your family is welcome too. Please see the link below for details of the events for Local 128.
Planning for the 2017 Calendar is taking place and we need photos of Boilermakers from across Canada.
We are looking for Boilermakers in the workplace. The photos need to be at least 1MB in size but the bigger the better. The photo call is to all 36 Local Lodges right across Canada. Please send the photos to support@boilermaker.ca and let's celebrate what makes this union great, the Boilermaker.
Photos must be submitted by August 31, 2016.
