We are deeply concerned about the ongoing wildfires affecting parts of Newfoundland and the impact this crisis is having on individuals, families, and communities throughout the province.
Our thoughts are with all those who have been displaced or affected by the fires, as well as with the first responders and emergency personnel who are working tirelessly under dangerous conditions to protect lives and property.
We want to reassure our members that we are monitoring the situation closely. For those who have been impacted or are in areas at risk, please prioritize your safety and follow all directives from local authorities.
If you or your family have been directly affected and are in need of support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to CUPE NL, we are here to help connect you with available resources and services.
During this time of uncertainty and hardship, we are reminded of the strength and resilience of Newfoundland communities. We stand in solidarity with all those affected and will continue to support recovery efforts however we can.
Please stay safe and take care of one another.
Sherry Hillier
President, CUPE NL
