Hot start to our Municipal Training Conference this morning with a visit from Toronto @MayorOliviaChow, and intro from our municipal Guru @MatiasdeD, a welcome from our president Andria Babbington and our first presentation from our friends @CanadianLabour.
June is National Indigenous History Month.
Today, we recognize and celebrate the histories, cultures, contributions, and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, while reaffirming our commitment to truth, justice, and reconciliation.
Hear from CUPE Ontario Secretary-Treasurer, Dawn Bellerose, the first Indigenous person elected to this role, as she reflects on the importance of Indigenous History Month and the ongoing work to build a more equitable future for all!
