York Region recognizers the contributions of all workers this Labour Day

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, I would like to wish all of those who live or work in York Region an enjoyable and safe Labour Day.

Each year, Labour Day is a meaningful reminder to recognize the workers who contribute to the strength of our community and economy. It is also a time to reflect on the progress made in advancing workers’ rights across York Region, Ontario and Canada.

As we celebrate every worker today, I also acknowledge York Region’s dedicated employees whose passion and expertise help make our Region a thriving, safe and respected place so many are proud to call home. Every contribution matters and every individual working for York Region should feel proud of the difference they make.

As we mark this Labour Day, Regional Council remains focused on making life better for both people and employers. With 1.29 million residents, 57,000 businesses and 624,000 employees who work across our nine cities and towns, York Region is home to a strong, resilient and thriving economy. We remain grateful to the businesses that continue to invest here and drive economic vitality, especially in uncertain times. Together, we are building fair and equitable workplaces for everyone who calls York Region home.

Today, we celebrate the dedicated workers whose efforts drive progress and uphold safety and well-being in workplaces across our communities.

On behalf of Regional Council, I wish everyone a safe and happy Labour Day.
