Labour Day 2025
You’re invited to take part in the celebration this Labour Day.
For over one hundred years, union members have joined together on the first Monday in September to celebrate the contributions of working people and bring awareness to changes needed to keep workers healthy and safe. Whether through advocating for better working conditions for HSA members or policy changes to improve patient and client care, HSA has and continues to play an important role in the labour movement and Labour Day events. This Labour Day, come out and join the celebration!
Full list of events below. Remember, dress for the weather and bring your water bottle!
If you are able to assist with an HSA booth at this event or want to learn more about joining your local Labour Council, email Nicole Seguin at Nicole.Seguin@hsabc.org.
