SOLIDARITY MARCH
Thanks to everyone who participated in this years March. The Sun was shining on a great end to the summer . I thank the ECP Brothers and Sisters for leading the well over 100 participants. A great time was had by all. Ryan Jamula a grade 9 student from BCI gave a great speech on labour movement and the New Democrats. Everyone also enjoyed Steve Sinnicks music and lyrics and banter with the crowd. Steve is also a true labour activist and we were lucky to have him on Labour Day . Stay tuned for next year and a possible return to Labourpalooza.
JOIN STEVE SINNICKS LIVE At Brandos on Markert following the SOLIDARITY MARCH

"...in the tradition of Guthrie and Seeger... Hamilton's Steve Sinnicks is also one of the best "labour-singers" in Canada... if Woody were alive today he would want to hear Steve Sinnicks live!"
