Disappointed by how many Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action are still unmet. These weren’t suggestions—they were commitments. We can, and should, be doing better.

May 5 is Red Dress Day. We honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two‑Spirit People and call on Ontario to act. A Red Dress Alert can save lives and Indigenous‑led solutions can’t wait. Read the full statement: https://ofl.ca/red-dress-day-2026-ontario-must-act-on-a-red-dress-alert/

$12 Million raised for our communities.

What an incredible milestone to celebrate at the Waves of Impact dinner for the United Way Golden Horseshoe.

Once again, labour showed up strong. Congratulations to ALL of the award winners tonight. 👏

As a former board member, I can’t stress enough how important workplace contributions are. WHEREVER YOU WORK — HELP US HELP ALL OF US!

When you give, you’re directly supporting families and individuals in our community who rely on these services every day.

Please consider making a workplace contribution next year. Your support truly makes a difference.

There was a lot of love in the air last night at the Oakville & District Labour Council Awards Dinner 2026. Labour affiliates came together to recognize the incredible work of local activists across the Halton region—from the re-naming of an award, to honouring those in health and safety, social justice, women’s leadership, and lifetime achievement.

It was truly a wonderful night for everyone. Congratulations to all of our deserving winners, and a heartfelt thank you to our keynote speaker, Rishia Burke, Executive Director of Community Development Halton, for a powerful reminder that we are stronger together. On every issue we face—strength in numbers matters.

Solidarity always.

Today we reflect on a celebration of life and a forever legacy … amongst our temporary current grief. Rest well Mr. Lewis

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Stephen Lewis.

He was a fierce, passionate and dedicated champion of social justice in Canada and around the world.

His legacy as the Leader of Ontario’s NDP, as Canada’s Ambassador to the United Nations, his commitment to tackling the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa, and his work through the Stephen Lewis Foundation, has made the world a better place.

We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. 🧡

Many were out today at the rally in front of Stephen Crawford’s office in Oakville. Incredible to see so many people—folks from the Ontario Halton Health Coalition, education supporters fighting OSAP cuts, labour groups, and concerned citizens against the 413 highway —all standing together against the attacks on our rights.

Across the province today, people are speaking up against Ford’s agenda, from gutting transparency with the “Forgetting the Investigation Act” to all the ways he’s hurting our communities, our hospitals and our kids educations. Solidarity and action matter. ✊
