UNE Welcomes New Members from Rouge National Urban Park

WelcomeRouge

The Union of National Employees is proud to welcome members from the newly created Local 00420 at Rouge National Urban Park in the Greater Toronto Area (Scarborough). The park is Canada’s first urban national park, officially created in May 2015.

Mary Anne Walker, regional vice-president for the Ontario region, recently chaired the local’s first annual general meeting in December.

“This is a unique attraction,” commented Walker. “Visitors don’t have to travel to the park; the park experience has been brought to the city. In addition to common Parks Canada practices such as ecosystem restoration and preservation, there are guided walks, species and ecosystem preservation, educational and special events – all nestled within the city.”
