A Thank You - To the Staff of Niagara Parks

Thanks to all of you for the hard work, passion and dedication that you gave to Niagara Parks while I was there. Niagara Parks is a wonderful organization that needs tendering and care for the benefit of all stakeholders. I believe that after much hard work we were on a path for a bright future. I am proud of the strategic direction that had been set, the return to focusing on the parks of Niagara Parks, the great result on the boat tour opportunity, and many of the other initiatives that we were embarking on. My drive and dedication to NPC came from your encouragement and passion. I appreciate and will always be thankful for the opportunity of working with you.


Yours truly,


Fay Booker

May 2012

Stewards


Unions are not insurance policies where you pay your dues and expect someone to solve your problems for you. Unions are self-help organizations where the members work together in order to solve common problems.

—from CUPE's Stewards Handbook


The Bundle of Sticks

An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bundle of sticks, and said to his eldest son: “Break it.” The son strained and strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. “Untie the sticks,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick.” When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken. “You see my meaning,” said their father.


Union gives strength.
