Municipal workers are the backbone of our communities—keeping them clean, safe, and running every single day. But our jobs, and the services that everybody relies on, are under threat from understaffing and privatization.
Leading up to the 2026 Ontario municipal elections, this campaign will engage and empower CUPE locals and their members to become active participants in defending public services—at the ballot box, in their workplaces, and in their communities. The campaign will also work to identify and endorse municipal candidates across the province who believe in the value of public services and good, union jobs to elect worker-friendly councils across the province.
When workers thrive, communities thrive. This is your job, your community, and your vote—let’s use it to protect what matters. Election day is October 26th. If you want to get involved in local campaigns in Guelph, reach out to Devon at treasurer@cupelocal241.ca.
