Congratulations to Society member Judith Logan-Junop, who was awarded a Daniele Zanotti Award by Labour Community Services in partnership with the United Way Greater Toronto. The award was established by the Toronto and York Region Labour Council, Peel Regional Labour Council, Labour Community Services of Toronto, and Labour Community Services of Peel.
The award ceremony took place on Oct. 15 at the annual Labour Presidents’ United Way Campaign Kickoff Breakfast. The award, named after former United Way Greater Toronto CEO and President Daniele Zanotti, recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to collaboration between the labour community and the United Way. The award honours labour’s historic role in the founding of the United Way of Greater Toronto in 1956.
Judith is an active member of the broader labour movement and is extensively involved in her community. She serves as the Secretary-Treasurer of Labour Community Services and is the Labour Co-Chair of United Way Toronto Peel. She’s been a labour volunteer on the United Way Campaign Cabinet for the last six years, and she serves as a Labour Community Services Board member. She also sits on the Women’s Committees of the Canadian Labour Congress, the Ontario Federation of Labour, and Toronto and York Region Labour Council.
Judith has also been an active labour activist within the Society. She is the current chair and longstanding member of United Sisters, an equity committee that promotes gender equity through education and action. She has previously served as a delegate and Local Vice President for Inergi LP and as a delegate for Hydro One.
Labour Community Services is an initiative of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council and the United Way of Greater Toronto, which began in 1982 to foster labour’s participation in community outreach initiatives.
