Ready, Set, March!

This Monday at 3 p.m, something special is happening. Workers and people from unions are gathering at Memorial Park. They're planning a big walk to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. It's all for Labour Day, and you wouldn't want to miss it!

Bea Bruske, the leader of the Canadian Labour Congress, is going to speak. She's got important things to say about needing better pay, especially since everything is getting more expensive.

So mark your calendars and get ready. This isn't just about work; it's about standing up for what's right.
