October 1st is the International Day of the Older Person. This is why the CUPW Vancouver Local is asking members to donate to the 411 Seniors Centre in Vancouver BC.
The 411 Seniors Centre is a 40 plus year old organization offering a place for seniors to meet, play, learn, discuss, and get their concerns met. Pre pandemic they offered programs including:
In observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, September 30th will now be a statutory holiday. Federally regulated workplaces like Canada Post will be closed, to commemorate the tragic legacy of residential schools in our country. This date coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which began in 2013, and involves wearing orange shirts to honour Indigenous children forced to leave their families to attend residential schools.
The holiday comes in the wake of discovering the remains of more than 1,300 Indigenous children in unmarked graves at former residential schools since May of this year. Appallingly, we know there are many more yet to be found.
