This Labour Day is Monday, September 7. Like so many other things during a pandemic, this Labour Day will be different than in years past. This year there are safe, physically distanced activities and virtual parades happening across Ontario this Labour Day. Regardless of how we mark the day, we will still be celebrating workers' contributions to building Ontario and Canada. This year's theme is Forward Together, which is the approach we must take as a country to weather the pandemic and build back stronger than before.
