Calling all CUPE 3903 members!
Join us in the Labour Day parade on Monday, September 2nd! This parade is a fun, safe, and family-oriented event. Feel free to bring children and family members!
This year, CUPE 3903 will be marching in solidarity with other unions on campus: OHFA, YUFA, CUPE 1356, and YUSA.
Wristbands for free entry to the CNE are usually available to a contingent of marchers from each participating union at the end of the parade. If you want to head to the CNE afterwards, please email!
3903 members will be assembling at 9:30AM on Centre Avenue just south of Dundas Street (one block east of University Avenue, north-west of Toronto City Hall). The parade departs from University Avenue and Queen Street at 9:30AM, goes west along Queen to Dufferin, and ends at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) gate at Dufferin Street north of Lakeshore Boulevard (usually ending at 2:30PM).
Accessibility notes: the route is approximately 3.5 kilometres, mostly moving along the street. Depending on the weather, it can be quite hot and sunny (or wet)!
Please bring water, sunscreen, and your CUPE 3903 gear! You can drop by the office this week Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to pick up a CUPE 3903 t-shirt or water bottle, if you’d like.
