It’s been a big year and we're excited to share with you the first issue of BE, LCS' quarterly e-newsletter. BE is inspired by you! This year, we got to work with some of the most dedicated people in the Labour movement and community who believe in making a difference by taking action (whether big or small). We hope that the stories we share inspire you to celebrate, learn, explore and grow with us. With humble hearts, thank you for being part of the LCS journey. Wishing you the best of the holiday season, we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!

We have a couple more weeks to support the 2022 United Way Greater Toronto Community Campaign goal of raising $110 million, which will help power United Way's network of 300 local social service agencies through 2023. Together, we’ve been able to connect hundreds of thousands of people across the GTA to the supports they needed, close to home. Food programs, mental health hotlines, housing support - all available thanks to the collective efforts of donors and partners like yourself. We're calling all unions to make a donation today - it's not too late to give.
A United Way Labour Liaison is happy to help assist you in making a donation on behalf of your local. Please email Marcia or Richelle to get started or for any questions:
