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.
Norah Rae knows first hand the devastating impact that cancer can have. Rae, a steward at Rexall Pharmacy in Guelph, has seen both her husband and her sister-in-law suffer. That’s why when Rae got a chance to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, she jumped right in.
Rae raised more than $900, making her the top fundraiser at the Annual Ride for a Cure event. The event, co-hosted by Local 1000A and Local 175 & 633, drew 37 riders and generated more than $10,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Those are the words that Katie Maclellan, a cashier at Riverside Market in Pembroke, kept close to her heart as she worked to raise $1,090 for the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre to help those suffering from mental health issues.
Local 1000A’s Southwestern Retail Franchise Division has a lot to celebrate after raising nearly $540 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
“I was overwhelmed by the money we raised,” said Kevin Bacon, President of the Southwestern Retail Franchise Division and a servicing staff representative with Local 1000A. “Thank you to our stewards and activists who agreed to sell tickets at their locations and a big thank you to our members for supporting this worthy cause.”
