Hanukkah celebrates a story of perseverance and resilience, one that reminds us to find light in the darkness and strength in standing together.

Lee Cheuk-yan, former General Secretary of Hong Kong’s independent union federation, has been jailed since 2021 for organizing peaceful pro-democracy rallies. That’s not a crime, it’s courage.
Canada’s unions call for Lee's immediate release.

Today, we remember those who’ve fallen in wars past and present: those who fought, those who laboured, and those who simply tried to keep their families alive. They died on battlefields, in factories and in streets, schools and houses.
Today we remember. And we recommit ourselves to ending all war.
