Earlier this year, I had the privilege of attending, along with some thirty PIPSC delegates, the 28th Constitutional Convention of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), in Toronto.
The Convention, which is held every three years, featured the theme of “Together for a Fair Future”, and was dedicated to the memory of former CLC President and famed Canadian Labour activist Bob White, who passed away in February.

Labour Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers. Labour Day has its origins in the union movement, specifically the eight hour work day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. Labour Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in Canada since 1872.
