Join Us for the Annapolis Royal and Lunenburg County Pride Parades!

This weekend, CUPE Nova Scotia will be participating in two pride parades, and we encourage members, families, friends and allies to join us for a lot of fun! First, we’ll be taking part in the Annapolis Royal Pride Parade on Saturday (July 4th). Meet us at the Courthouse at 377 St. George Street in Annapolis Royal at noon for staging/preparation. The parade departs at 1pm. The good times won’t stop there, because we’ll be moving on to the Lunenburg County Pride Parade on Sunday (July 5th). Meet us at 2pm at the NSCC Lunenburg Campus on High Street in Bridgewater. The parade departs at 3pm. HAPPY PRIDE!!!

Happy Canada Day!

CUPE Nova Scotia is pleased to wish a Happy Canada Day to our members, families and communities! Canadians have much to celebrate and be proud of today. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful and diverse country, one that provides us with access to freedoms and opportunities that are sadly unavailable to many others around the globe. However, it is important to acknowledge that our past also has many dark chapters. Canada’s Indigenous peoples have suffered immeasurably from the cruelty and inhumanity of colonialism. We therefore encourage you to reflect on this as you celebrate today, and to promote the principles of reconciliation every day. 🇨🇦
