Today, we remember the 14 women murdered at Montréal’s École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989, targeted simply because they were women. We honour their memory and the countless women, girls, and gender-diverse people who have experienced violence in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

We trust Ontario’s water because it’s public. It’s safe. It’s affordable. And it’s accountable to the people — not to profit. But Bills 60, 56, and 68 threaten to change that. So CUPE Ontario has joined forces with the Council of Canadians, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), ACORN Ontario, and Nature Ontario to launch the Keep Water Public coalition. We’re standing up for Ontario’s water — and we need you with us. 👉 Get the facts and get involved: KeepWaterPublic.ca
