its first female president. We are proud to announce the committee now has the largest female-to-male ratio since its foundation. And we feel this is a pivotal change reflecting the current face of labour where women make up almost half of the workforce.
Mental Health Awareness As we continue on our journey to create change, we have taken on the goal of revamping our work on mental health, as it is such an important issue for our members and their families. Our work with the ‘Make It Mandatory’ campaign, bringing mental health awareness to the workplace and lobbying to incorporate mental health into the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, was important and made a difference in the lives of our members. Amidst the pandemic, mental health has become such a prominent issue. We know we need to continue working at keeping it at the forefront of people’s minds to create the necessary changes needed by many.

As we look to our future as a committee, this year we hope to attend more meetings in person, participate in our lobby day, and focus on our new mandate. We also hope for expansion and wish to welcome new members from the east coast to our team. Of paramount importance to the work we do, we continue to support each other as Teamster brothers and sisters in this amazing union. This is how we will see a better tomorrow.
