Women’s Committee Update
Seasons greetings from your Local Women’s Committee, and an update on our path ahead for the new year.
April is Black Women’s History Month
Did You Know?… April is International Black Women’s History Month! Established in 2016 in the city of Atlanta to uplift and support the achievements of Black and minority women, and to build understanding and awareness of the contributions of Black women to the world.
Black women have always been the backbone of society, empowering our neighbourhoods with strength despite circumstances that challenge our Blackness. The sisterhood between Black women continues to grow tighter and so does our village at CEIU and PSAC.

International Women’s Day Toronto
The International Women’s Day March in Toronto was more than just a city celebration–it was a powerful testament to the strength and unity of women everywhere. Hosted by the incredible women of the CEIU Regional Women’s Committee, it was an eye-opening experience that left a lasting impact of advocacy, sisterhood and strength.
