Canada Day is a time to reflect on who we are and what we stand for.
The world feels uncertain right now. Many are facing conflict, division, and hardship. But here in Canada, we’re fortunate to live in a sovereign nation guided by respect, fairness, and democratic values.
We’re proud of that. And we’re proud of the role IBEW members play in building and maintaining the systems that keep this country strong. From coast to coast, our members stand up for safe work, good jobs, and a better future for everyone.
Canada isn’t without challenges, and we don’t shy away from hard work; we face it together, united in our diversity and committed to progress.
This Canada Day, we honour our history, our freedoms, and the people who keep moving us forward.
To all our members and your families, I wish you a safe and joyful Canada Day. Enjoy your time together and take pride in everything you do to strengthen our country. Happy Canada Day!
In solidarity,
 | Russ Shewchuk International Vice President IBEW First District, Canada |
