Haber Recreation is expected to be impacted if the unions strike
On the off chance that CUPE, a union, takes strike action school facilities may not be available.
The City has received notice that some evening and weekend community rentals for HDSB and HCDSB school gyms and rooms may be cancelled until further notice.
Impacted organizations are being contacted by City staff as soon as the schools notify us of their plans. All City-run programs and community rentals at school board shared facilities will run as scheduled.
School board shared facilities include Aldershot Pool, Angela Coughlan Pool, Haber Community Centre.
Children have been out of school for the longest time , we cannot allow a teachers strike to take place in Ontario .
Both the Ontario Government and the Teachers Union have a responsibility to ensure continuance of the education system for all children .
I urge both parties to put all hostilities aside , get back to the table , find an equitable solution ; it is an obligation you have both as Teachers and Parliamentarians to do the job as Professionals and Leaders .
The sacrifice of all our children’s education lies in your entrusted hands ,
please do not fail in your duty as responsible citizens .
May your God be with all of you to guide you forward.
