Under clear blue skies, thousands of participants, including Local 1000A staff, members and activists, took to the streets of downtown Ottawa on August 26, 2012 to celebrate the Capital Pride Parade. Decked out in UFCW gold T-shirts, they danced and waved flags as they made their way through the downtown core.
With two towering red and white candy canes behind them, Local 1000A members, activists and staff spread a bit of holiday cheer at Milton’s annual Santa Claus Parade.
Members, including many from the Milton RCSS store, worked from early hours of the morning on November 18 to decorate the Local 1000A float, and then handed out candy canes and lip balms to the thousands of spectators of all ages and cultures who came out for the annual event.
With a bouncing castle, potato sack race, and an all-you-can-eat BBQ, UFCW Canada Local 1000A welcomed members to the London Family & Friends Picnic on July 6.
Members brought children and grandchildren along to the event at Springbank Park.
UFCW Canada Local 1000A welcomed 1,100 members, family members and friends to Wild Water Kingdom for its annual Members’ Day.
The event drew members from across Southern Ontario from a variety of workplaces and sectors.
“We had a great time,” said Alicia Wynn, who works at Kretschmar.
