Yesterday, Local 79 members stood alongside Grassy Narrows First Nation, joining thousands in the streets of Toronto for River Run 2026, walking alongside youth and community members who travelled from northwestern Ontario to demand mercury justice.

For more than half a century, the people of Grassy Narrows have lived with the consequences of mercury dumped into their river by the Dryden mill upstream, and they are still waiting for Ontario and Canada to compensate them fairly and end the pollution and industrial threats to their territory. We stand with them for as long as this fight takes.

For the first time in Local 79’s history, members came together to vote on who the union endorses for city council. Local 79 members are 32,000 frontline public sector workers across Toronto’s neighbourhoods, and in May, they gathered at the Toronto Workers Summit to build a vision of a Toronto where equity is built into every community through the public services and support residents need to thrive. Every candidate the union endorsed was measured against that vision, and Local 79 members voted to endorse Neethan Shan in Ward 25 (Scarborough—Rouge Park).
