DEIVE LEONARDO

Our theme this year is “Honouring the Past, Inventing the Future”. The Carpenters’ Regional Council stands in solidarity with our Black community members, Black Canadians, and all people of African descent. We are proud of the contributions they have made and continue to make to build our Union and our country. We strive to promote equity, diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging for all people within our organization.

At this month’s celebration, we will be unveiling the Carpenters’ Union coin commemorating and recognizing the contributions of the Second Construction Battalion of Nova Scotia. The keynote speaker will be the Right Honourable Jean Augustine, the first Black Canadian woman elected to the Parliament of Canada. The event will be held at the Bellagio Boutique Event Space on Thursday, February 23 at 6:30pm. The event is in collaboration with Afroglobal TV and several other construction trade unions. Happy Black History Month, Canada.
