We’ve always known that Steelworkers are resilient. Our individual and collective strength has been especially apparent this past year as we have collectively struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic, climate disaster, and numerous local and global injustices. In these extraordinarily difficult times, the need to come together has never been clearer. As always, the Family & Community Education Fund (FCEF) has been available to support locals, committees, and area councils in finding creative ways to assist and engage their membership and to build community within our union and beyond. This past year, the FCEF distributed $504,794.76 to such initiatives.
We were encouraged to see that contributing locals quickly adapted to pandemic-related restrictions and public health guidelines. This past year, the FCEF funded a range of projects like an online webinar series for injured workers in northwestern Ontario, a local’s strategic planning retreat in Drummondville, Que., and a drive-through Labour Day celebration in Thompson, Man.! Read on to learn more about these and other dynamic FCEF-funded initiatives from across our union.
