Happy Canada Day, IBEW!
Brothers and Sisters,
Canada Day is a time to reflect on who we are and what we stand for.
The world feels uncertain right now. Many are facing conflict, division, and hardship. But here in Canada, we’re fortunate to live in a sovereign nation guided by respect, fairness, and democratic values.
We’re proud of that. And we’re proud of the role IBEW members play in building and maintaining the systems that keep this country strong. From coast to coast, our members stand up for safe work, good jobs, and a better future for everyone.
Canada isn’t without challenges, and we don’t shy away from hard work; we face it together, united in our diversity and committed to progress.
This Canada Day, we honour our history, our freedoms, and the people who keep moving us forward.
To all our members and your families, I wish you a safe and joyful Canada Day. Enjoy your time together and take pride in everything you do to strengthen our country.
Happy Canada Day!
In Solidarity,
Russ Shewchuk
International Vice President
IBEW First District, Canada
Day of Mourning
Today marks the National Day of Mourning, a time set aside to bring attention to workers who have suffered injury or lost their lives due to their work. Last year in Newfoundland and Labrador, 26 people lost their lives due to their work. 15 from occupational disease and 11 as a result of fatal incidents. As IBEW members we remember these individuals. We have to do better.
Wishing our brothers and sisters a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year from the staff and executive board of IBEW Local 2330.

National Day Of Mourning
Greetings:
The Day of Mourning is an annual day of remembrance for workers who have been killed and injured on the job; the aim of this day is to publicly renew the commitment to fight for the safety of the living as well as mourn for those workers who have died.
The National Day of Mourning, held annually on April 28, was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991, eight years after the day of remembrance was launched by the Canadian Labour Congress. The Day of Mourning has since spread to about 80 countries around the world and has been adopted by the AFL-CIO and the International Confederation of Free Trade. The IBEW was originally formed by workers who wanted to improve safety in their workplace. Our union was formed on the need for safety at a time when 1 in 2 electrical workers were being killed on the job every day; even our own founding President Henry Miller died from a workplace incident. Today, safety continues to be a main focus of our Local Unions mandate; safety is paramount to the IBEW!
On April 28, we remember those who lost their lives, as well as the thousands of others injured; because for them, life will never be the same. So, on Friday, April 28th, mark the 'Day' by flying flags at half-mast; wear ribbons or black armbands, or whatever your traditional vigils/ceremonies are, and observe a moment of silence at 11am, as we remember those killed or injured at work and recommit to the challenge of preventing, reducing and eliminating workplace deaths and injuries.
We must mourn the dead, but we must also fight for the living!!
In solidarity,
Russ Shewchuk
