Canadians recognize Remembrance Day, originally called Armistice Day, every 11 November at 11 a.m. It marks the end of hostilities during the First World War and an opportunity to recall all those who have served in the nation’s defense.

Please take a moment this November 11th, to be thankful for our country, for our blessings, and those who died, so that we may live.

If any member from the CSRD has not received their CUPE 1908 merchandise, please reach out to your Shop steward or contact anyone from our Executive. We look forward to seeing everyone wearing their Cupe1908 merchandise.
