Join Us on May Day!
Picket, Rally, and Potluck Dinner
Picket and Rally - 5:00pm.
Tuesday May 1st, gather at 10 Street and Memorial Drive NW - (North West Corner)
Potluck and Get Together will follow the Picket
Calgary Outdoor Council (CAOC) - 1111 Memorial Drive NW
May Day is just a week after the Alberta election. The workers and their allies will be discussing the significance of the election result and putting on the agenda to hold governments to account.
Governments are duty-bound to put the interests of the public in first place, not those of the oil monopolies. Together we can make headway.
This year we stood with postal workers, Air Canada workers, carpenters at Peri-Form, Sobeys workers, health care workers, hospital workers, as well as City workers and their campaign to Keep Calgary Parks Public, among others. We joined forces with all those saying No Means No to private, for-profit health care and senior care. We have also fought as one with the pipeline and construction workers taking a stand against unsafe conditions, and the energy workers opposing nation wrecking and job loss created by shipping our raw resources offshore without refining them here.
We have continued to support steel workers in Ontario, forestry workers across the country and now the Rio Tinto workers in Alma, Quebec. The Rio Tinto workers in Kitimat, B.C. foresee a fight in the near future.
We also continue to seek justice for First Nations, including the families of the missing women, and our youth and seniors, as well as peoples everywhere suffering war and occupation.
We invite workers who have been fighting in the past year or foresee fights in the coming year to join us at the potluck dinner to update us on what is going on. We will celebrate our struggles and set our course for the coming year.
Organized by a Calgary May Day Committee formed for this purpose.
For further information call Peggy Askin at 403-283-7054, or email mayday...@gmail.com
(No charge for parking at the Calgary Area Outdoor Council. Because of the construction, approach from the west on Memorial drive. Parking also available at various lots within a block of CAOC.)
