Dear Sisters and Brothers,
As we head into the August Long Weekend, I want to recognize the incredible work being done by IBEW members and leaders in every part of the country.
From building and maintaining our infrastructure to supporting essential services, your work keeps Canada powered, connected, and moving forward. The pride and professionalism you bring to the job every day reflects the strength and spirit of the IBEW.
Our Local Union leaders continue to stand strong for working people, ensuring members are supported and represented with care and commitment. That leadership, paired with the dedication of our members, is the foundation of everything we achieve together.
A special thanks to those working through the long weekend. Your continued service ensures others can enjoy time with family and friends safely and without interruption. That sacrifice is deeply appreciated. On behalf of the IBEW First District Office, thank you for all you do to support this union, your fellow members, and communities across Canada. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and restful August Long Weekend.
In Solidarity,
