Take Back the Night
There were about 50 demonstrators who arrived at Confederation Basin in Kingston on Thursday, September 23, 2010. It was rainy and cold but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the Sisters who marched nor the Brothers who came out to support the march. A small truck with sound system led the protestors in chants and there were plenty of noise makers which garnered attention from onlookers.
“However we dress
Wherever we go
Yes means Yes
and No means No!”
Well done, Sisters!!

UCTE Hold Press conference on Fri March 26th in Peterborough on the contracting out of Dive Team work on the Trent Severn Waterway
Sr. Christine Collins - UCTE National President held a press conference on Fri., March 26th critizing the move by Parks Canada to contract out the dive team work on the Trent Severn Waterway. This group has been conducting dive work and underwater repair work on the waterway for over 100 years without an incident or fatality. "It makes little sense to contract this work out" she said. Retired and current divers were on hand to provide background information and questions as was Local President Ralph Bucherer and other members of the local executive. Members from the Rideau Canal local were also present and commented on the contracting out of other work on the canal and the proposal by mgt to shorten the season by a month and the operating day by an hour. Clearly this is all about cutting costs and not about maintaining adequate levels of service and safety Collins said.
