Thank You for Your Support at the Parade!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our parade entry a success! Whether you helped build the float, walked alongside us in the parade, or cheered us on as we passed by, we truly appreciate your support.
CUPE Local 1522 is proud to continue being visible in our community, showing our solidarity and raising awareness as we continue our fight for a fair collective agreement. The parade was a wonderful opportunity to connect with families and community members while sharing information about where we are in the bargaining process.
Along the route, we handed out informational pamphlets, CUPE Manitoba activity books, along with a regular parade goodies.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to All Kids Deserve Support for walking alongside us, we are stronger together.
A very special thank you goes out to Sophia, Lisa, Ryker, Jen, and Kinsleigh for volunteering their time and joining us for the parade. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and willingness to represent our local helped make the day a great success!
Stronger together!
