SUMMARY:Labour Day Parade 2026
DESCRIPTION:  \nIt’s August\, which means Labour Day is nearly here! \nThis Labour Day\, ACTRA Toronto is calling on the Government of Ontario to pass meaningful Status of the Artist legislation that guarantees professional artists sectoral bargaining\, better protections\, and stronger rights. This will deliver the security\, protections\, and working conditions essential to the sustainability of the creative economy. \nStatus of the Artist goes back to 1980\, when UNESCO urged member states to guarantee artists real security: training\, social security\, fair income\, mobility\, freedom of expression\, and the right to organize. But 46 years later\, Ontario still hasn’t answered that call. Status means protection. So this Labour Day\, March with us and let’s make our voices heard. We want Status of the Artist Now! \nAll ACTRA Toronto members are encouraged to join. Family and friends are welcome too. Detail below. \n  \nDate: \nSeptember 7 \,2026\, 8:30 am \nLocation: \nOur contingent is meeting in the Southbound lane at University Avenue and Queen Street\, in front of the Bank of Canada Building (250 University Avenue) Keep an eye out for the ACTRA Toronto flags. \n  \nMarchers will receive a FREE Status of the Artist T-shirt (while supplies last). Marchers ALSO get FREE access to the CNE. Please note\, CNE Wristbands are limited to a maximum of four (4) per ACTRA Toronto member for CNE entry for the member and their friends/family. ACTRA Toronto members must be present to pick up their wristbands in person before the parade starts. First come\, first served\, while supplies last. Wristbands will not be given out once the parade is underway. \nOut of respect for the environment\, bottled water will not be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring water in a reusable container.
