East Kent Hot Rods for Hospice Fall Festival took place on September 23 in Ridgetown.
The inaugural East Kent Hot Rods for Hospice Fall Festival event took place at the Ridgetown Fairgrounds, with such a great turnout with over 300 vehicles in attendance on Saturday, September 23, 2023, which featured a packed lineup of events. We were thrilled to have Mike Cowley in attendance, an executive member with Local CUPE 12, representing all Union municipal workers from Public works, Libraries and the Health unit, to Contribute to the proceeds raised at the event. On behalf of CUPE 12, Mike presented the Hospice organization with a cheque for $2000, a worthwhile cause for a worthwhile service in Chatham-Kent.

Welcome Brothers and Sisters, our next meeting will be held at the same time and location this October the 18th.
Executive start time: 5:00 pm
General membership start time: 5:30 pm.

The meeting will take place in person and via Zoom. We do encourage everyone to attend all meetings in person, but,
if it is impossible to attend and prefer to join us via zoom, please do so, having said that, we would like to alert everyone about the poor connectivity issues at the cultural center. We would like to apologize to those members that were cut off during our last meeting. Scott made numerous attempts to rejoin everyone on Zoom, but in the end he had a meeting to run.

Once again, a final reminder to please get your email addresses to your respective unit chair members, or
send them to cupe12local@gmail.com if you would like to partake in the bargaining survey before we start negotiating.

Just a friendly reminder that there will be no General Membership Meetings for June, July and August. We will be resuming our monthly meetings in September.

Summer is approaching, and most of you will be anxious to bring out all your summer toys to enjoy the
long awaited summer climate. We want to wish you a safe and relaxing summer.

Motorcycle Enthusiasts: For those members who participate in fundraising rides we encourage you to take a look at maybe adding this event to your summer rides. We are providing the link to this event below. The event is a great fundraiser for a great cause. We at CUPE 12 are a proud supporter of our local hospice in Chatham.

Ilija Dimeski from Dimeski Law, attending last year’s Hogs for Hospice event in 2022 proudly sporting
the CUPE 12 colours in support of our local union.

April 28th 2023, was our National Day of Mourning.

Marked annually in Canada on April 28, the National Day of Mourning is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives, suffered injury or illness on the job, or experienced a work-related tragedy.

I was proud to attend this year’s event alongside with Ilija Dimeski, a staunch CUPE supporter, a longtime advocate for human rights and workplace safety. I just wanted to share some pics of the attendees on that rainy and windy event! Ilija was more than happy to hold our banner with me.

Thanks,
Scott Ferren
President, CUPE 12
