It's their main fundraiser for the social programs operated by the Halifax-Dartmouth chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). And the theme this year is "Together Again" since it's the first event since they had to adjust and move online because of the pandemic. The event features art work on display online and at the Craig Gallery at Alderney Landing. Marg Murray is the Branch Co-Manager and the Building Bridges Coordinator for CMHA Halifax-Dartmouth. The group works to help people access to the resources they need to maintain and improve mental health, community integration and resilience. And she describes how they do that and how this fundraiser happens with the support of artists, ceramic tiles and the people who support them through this annual event. And she gives a preview of their preparations for the upcoming 25th annual event in 2023.

The leading cause of disability is Canada is mental illness, affecting one in five. And by the age of 40, about 50 percent of the population will have or have had a mental illness.

What would it take to build another general strike? Why would another general strike be necessary? These questions came up over and over again throughout the conference. This episode explores those conversations, combining audio from the roundtables: Poverty and the Fight for Material Existence, Building an Inclusive Labour Movement and Making Labour a Social Force & Political Leader. It also includes audio from Dr. Jane McAlevey’s keynote speech at the Ukranian Labour Temple.

Rank & File Radio - Prairie Edition on CKUW 95.90 FM provides Canadian labour news and analysis across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. This show is an independent partner with RankandFile.ca and supported by listeners like you through Patreon, and UFCW Local 832. This episode is broadcasting from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Treaty 1 territory, the original lands of the Cree, Oji Cree Anishnaabeg Dakota and Dene peoples and the homeland of the Metis nation. Today’s broadcast date is December 16, 2018. I’m your host, Emily Leedham. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has filed a constitutional challenge to the Liberal government’s Canada Post Act, which ended the union’s rotating strikes, and imposed a mediator between the union and Canada Post. Any CUPW members found in violation of this act can face thousands of dollars in fines. First on the show, we’ll hear from Charles Smith, University of Saskatchewan professor and co-author of Unions in Court: Organized Labour and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, on the legal history behind the right to strike, whether the Liberal’s act is different from the Conservative’s back to work legislation in 2011, and what this legal fight will look like going forward. Since CUPW cannot violate the Canada Post Act, other unions and supporters across Canada have engaged in civil disobedience, setting up solidarity pickets, shutting down Canada Post plants and depots. Pickets have gone up in Vancouver, Edmonton, Missasauga, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax and others. On December 2nd, six out of 30 solidarity picketers were arrested in Halifax. A few days later, three people out of 40 protesters were arrested in Ottawa. So far, there have been no other arrests across Canada. Later in the show, we’ll hear from Suzanne McNeil, president of the Halifax Dartmouth & District Labour Council, talking about how labour can organize and support members participating in civil disobedience. Her husband Tony Tracy was one of the six protesters arrested earlier this month. https://www.ubcpress.ca/unions-in-court https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-protest-outside-canada-post-plant-leads-to-6-arrests-1.4929691
