Union News - September 2024
The CRA will be holding its Workplace Charitable Campaign again this fall.
We are encouraging our members to continue to donate to charitable organizations. You can do it through the CRA Charitable Campaign, or directly with the United Way, or to UTE’s charitable organization of choice, the International Children’s Awareness Canada (ICA) (see below).
At the National level, UTE will not participate with CRA in the official launch of the 2024 campaign.
This decision was not taken lightly, but as a result of the current circumstances and challenges that we are facing with this employer.
Regional and local involvement will remain at the discretion of the respective representatives.
If you need additional information on this matter, please contact your local executive.
INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S AWARENESS (ICA) CANADA
International Children's Awareness (ICA) Canada is a small, non-profit organization committed to long-term development throughout countries in need. At any given time, ICA has a handful of projects being completed and is working to obtain funding to begin other projects. ICA projects help small community groups and families in developing nations.
ICA is a Canadian registered charity (Registration # 887858660RR0001). They are staffed entirely by volunteers, which means that 100% of donations go towards the projects and not salaries or administration costs.
We would like to ask our members to also get involved with this worthy organization by making their very generous donations either directly or through the CRA Charitable Campaign to ICA Canada.
Marc Brière
National President
