Happy Victoria Day to all the dedicated Local 416 Members who keep our city running, beautiful, and safe. 

Special thanks to those members working today while so many are enjoying the long weekend. We recognize and appreciate your hard work and commitment to serving our communities every single day.

Your efforts often happen behind the scenes, but the impact is seen everywhere across our city.

Wishing you and your families a safe and happy Victoria Day weekend. 🇨🇦

Risk assessments should include the people who actually do the work.

As @waltonmom rightly points out, workers know what makes a job safe, what makes it unsafe, and what needs to change.

The members of CUPE Local 416 are proud to see the impact of our Not One More Worker campaign reflected in the City of Toronto’s official proclamation of Safety and Health Week.

As outlined in the City’s May 4, 2026 communication and proclamation, @MayorOliviaChow and Toronto City Council have formally recognized the importance of preventing workplace injuries and illnesses, and the shared responsibility to keep workers safe.

This recognition is the result of sustained advocacy by workers who know firsthand the risks that exist across municipal jobs every day.

Through the Not One More Worker campaign, Local 416 has been working alongside the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development to drive a culture shift in workplace safety.  This includes advancing third-party risk assessments across municipalities, strengthening safety standards, and re-examining how work is performed to better protect workers.

We will continue pushing for stronger protections, better enforcement, and meaningful change, because even one injury or death, is one too many.

CUPE 416 Health and Safety Lead Carmine Fiore states it plainly: we can’t keep waiting for someone to get hurt before acting.

Enforcement should prevent incidents, not just respond to them.

Worker deaths don’t happen in isolation. They impact families, coworkers, entire communities. This isn’t one #workplace. It’s a system that isn’t keeping workers safe.

That’s why we’re fighting for #NotOneMoreWorker

“We mourn for the dead, but we fight like hell for the living.” Well said, @waltonmom

We were honoured to have @oflabour President Laura Walton join us on the #DayOfMourning to talk remembrance, prevention, and worker safety.

On the National Day of Mourning, Toronto Civic Employees Union Local 416 was proud to convene a meeting with Minister David Piccini @DavidPiccini, Mayor Olivia Chow @MayorOliviaChow, and department staff from the city and the province on #workplacesafety.

Ensuring workers have access to important health and safety benefits, by expanding and strengthening protections if they become ill on the job, is key in making sure workers have the tools they need to do their jobs.

Local 416 has been working on improving health and safety at the municipal and provincial level with our Not One More Worker campaign and we’re so encouraged that leadership at both the provincial and city levels stand ready to work with us to make things better for workers in Toronto and across Ontario.

Today we remember those who have lost their lives or experienced illness or injury while on the job.  We honour them by remembering, reflecting, and renewing our commitment to preventing workplace tragedies.

Join Local 416 to commemorate the occasion today at 12 pm at Larry Sefton Park, by Toronto City Hall.

Local 416 believes strongly in working with government to advocate for comprehensive, well‑funded mental‑health care that reflects the realities of the work our members do every day.

TCEU Local 416 welcomes last week's announcement by the Government of Canada and Ontario Government investing $15 million to expand Runnymede Healthcare Centre and establish Ontario’s first Post‑Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) Centre of Excellence for frontline workers.

This investment will support two new facilities opening in 2027 — a new Toronto ambulatory site for outpatient care and a 40‑bed residential recovery centre in Caledon — providing specialized mental‑health and substance‑use supports for first responders and frontline workers across Ontario.

We thank the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, and Runnymede Healthcare Centre for working together to make this important investment possible. Supporting the mental health of first responders strengthens public safety for everyone.

As part of our 2026 Ontario Lobby Day at Queen’s Park, TCEU Local 416 and our Toronto emergency service partners Toronto Professional Firefighters' Association and Toronto Police Association spent the day engaging with provincial decision‑makers on the shared challenges facing emergency services in #Toronto.

Across our services, we are all managing four urgent issues:
➡️ Service sustainability: Demand rising faster than resources
➡️ Public safety: Consistency and reliability at risk
➡️ Workforce capacity: Burnout, injuries, WSIB pressures, and mental‑health impacts
➡️ Intergovernmental partnership: The need for predictable provincial and federal participation

A big thank you to Premier Doug Ford and Minister David Piccini for meeting with our Paramedic Unit and partners and for their openness in working with us to tackle the challenges first responders are facing in Toronto.

We’d also like to thank Marit Stiles and John Fraser as well as their caucus members who met with us on the challenges emergency services personnel face.

Local 416 is committed to building relationships and working with the city and the province to better serve our members, so they can better serve the people of Toronto.

➡️ Toronto municipal outside workers have a credible, informed, and effective voice at the table.

His work will play a key role in shaping the future of our pension plan.

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere.

International Women’s Day is more than a moment of recognition—it’s a call to continue building a world where every woman and girl has the opportunity to lead, create, thrive, and be heard. From boardrooms to classrooms, communities to homes, the impact of women’s voices and leadership shapes a better future for us all.

Let’s honour the progress made, uplift the stories that inspire us, and recommit to advancing equality every single day.

Happy International Women’s Day 2026. 💜
