Delegates re-elected Mark Hancock as National President and Candace Rennick as National Secretary-Treasurer at National Convention on Wednesday.
For Hancock, first elected in 2015, this marks a sixth straight mandate. “It’s been the honour of my life and a hell of a ride to lead our great union. I’m grateful to our members for their confidence and their support,” said Hancock. “We’re going to keep fighting to build communities where we take care of one another, and to elect governments that put public interest before private profit.”
Rennick, first elected in 2021, begins her third term as National Secretary-Treasurer. “I draw strength and inspiration from our amazing members who work so hard, day in and day out, and I am incredibly grateful for their support,” she said. “Working with them and for them is truly one of the great honours of my life. They are the reason I show up every day and keep fighting.”
Together, Hancock and Rennick will continue to lead CUPE’s 800,000 members with the same energy and commitment that have defined their leadership as they champion workers’ rights and build a stronger, more just Canada.
