Academic Contract Workers at Brock University
Did you miss the 4207 Manhattan social? Well, the NDCC is hosting a great time with pizza and wings. Municipal candidates have been invited. This is a great way to come out and meet and support labour-friendly candidates. See you there this Sunday 6pm. Manhattan Bar and Grill near Niagara and Scott.
We have an important ask. The elections for mayors, school board trustees and councillors will take place on Monday, October 26th, with voting occurring all over the province. The positions may not seem as glamorous as the Federal elections, but this is extremely important. Who represents us in our region will affect how our cities are governed and by whose interests. This includes access to our water, and CUPE has made it clear that our water is not for sale to corporate interests. The Niagara Regional Labour Council has endorsed several candidates in the region, and we urge you to learn about these leaders and get out to vote. This election will determine the future of our region.
Wednesday Sept 30th is an non-instructional day at Brock University. This is a time to gather and reflect. Several events are happening across the region. Tomorrow, a screening of the powerful film Bones of Crow will be held at 2:00pm, register HERE to attend. On September 30th 10:00am, register to come join us in the Pond Inlet for Living Legacy: Moving Through Generations of Trauma. The library has numerous graphic novels by Indigenous authors. Take time to listen, learn and work towards a better future.
