A cross-country ad campaign is rolling out this week, highlighting CUPE members as the heart of their communities.
The campaign is one way CUPE’s marking the newly re-established Communities Day, Saturday June 23. The billboard and bus ads shine a spotlight on the central role of CUPE members’ work, making the connection that they are everyday people in the community.
The campaign uses the slogan “Your neighbours at work building strong communities” and features images of CUPE members on the job.

CUPE community builder stories
CUPE is also using Communities Day to tell the stories of CUPE members as community builders. Many members give back to their cities and towns in their spare time. Watch for profiles of CUPE community builders in the coming days, starting with this profile of Ontario paramedic Sandra Hynds.
With the re-launch of Communities Day, CUPE locals are working with their municipal governments to proclaim communities day.
Thanks to the work of CUPE 608, the City of Penticton has proclaimed June 23 as Communities Day – the first community to do so!
