Refugee Next Door

Refugee Next Door Campaign

We Are All Canadians

Since the First Nations gave Toronto the name “a gathering place”, this city and region have been the destination of choice for generations of immigrants and refugees who come with their skills and dreams of making a better life for themselves
and their families.

Today, however, we are hearing more stories about threats to our society in the form of immigrants and refugees. As our airwaves fill will these stories aimed at painting them in a negative light, Labour Community Services believes it is important to take a look at refugees coming to Toronto today, and what their arrival means for our unions and communities.

Yes, It Matters!

Yes, It Matters! Campaign

Working together to end systemic racism and create a just Canada for all.

Union members reflect the incredible diversity of Canada, one of our country’s greatest strengths. Our unions benefit tremendously from the wide range of personal experiences, views and histories our members bring. Unfortunately, too many of our sisters and brothers face systemic racism, discrimination and prejudice at work, and in their every day lives. That is simply unacceptable.
