Labour Day is quickly approaching! Join us on September 1, 2025 to march in the Labour Day Parade in Toronto for all our wins, fights, and to celebrate 153 years of marching together in solidarity. ✊🏾

With continued inflation, increasing global conflict, and the struggle for overall fairness, workers have had enough! We are ready to Rise! Resist! Reclaim! as the austerity and privatization that threatens our public services and ignites and grows the unaffordability crisis. That is why we are marching, to show that workers are more unified today than ever before!

We want to see you and your CUPE Local march this Labour Day, and bring CUPE members together across sectors to say enough is enough!

WHEN: Monday, September 1, 2025 at 9AM

WHERE: Section 9, West Side of University Ave., North from Armoury St to Dundas St. W.

Rise! Resist! Reclaim!
