Union News October 2018
As usual, the CRA will be holding its Workplace Charitable Campaign this fall.
Once again, the UTE is wholeheartedly supporting this campaign.
UTE national officers will participate in the launch and promotion of the 2018 Charitable Campaign with representatives from the CRA.
I strongly encourage the Regional Vice Presidents and our Locals to participate as well.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is working with United Way representatives to ensure that the unions and their members will be given the recognition they deserve for their contributions to the GCWCC.
Naturally, we encourage our members to be generous by continuing to contribute to charities. They can donate through the CRA’s 2018 Charitable Campaign or directly to the United Way or to the UTE’s charitable organization of choice, namely International Children’s Awareness (ICA) Canada (see below).
Together, let’s keep making a difference in the lives
of those who desperately need it!
For further details about this, please contact one of the members of your local executive.
INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S AWARENESS (ICA) CANADA
International Children's Awareness (ICA) Canada is a small, non-profit organization dedicated to the long-term development of countries in need. At any one time, ICA has multiple projects on the go and is attempting to obtain funding to undertake other projects. ICA’s projects help small communities and families in developing nations.
ICA is a registered Canadian charity (registration no. 887858660RR0001). The organization is staffed entirely by volunteers, which means that all donations go towards the projects, not to salaries or administration costs.
We would like to ask our members to support this worthy organization by donating directly to ICA Canada or as part of the 2018 CRA Charitable Campaign.
Yours in solidarity,
Marc Brière
National President
