The CUPE 3903 Office (143 Atkinson) will be closed tomorrow, September 30, in recognition of the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. This is a day to reflect on the harms wrought by colonialism, honour the resilience of Indigeneous peoples, and take action to build better presents and futures.
