OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The members of CUPE local 5102 were proud to invite the wider community to join them in celebrating the hard work their members provide to the residents of Red Oak retirement community in Kanata.

The ice cream social at 3501 Campeau Dr. ran from 1PM to 5PM on July 11. Local City Councillor Cathy Curry joined at 1PM to help kick off the celebration.

“In my visits to Red Oak Retirement Living, I am always impressed by the beautiful, clean, caring and positive atmosphere. The people who work there are doing some of the most important work in our community - caring for others. I would like to extend my deepest thanks and appreciation for everyone who works at Red Oak Retirement Living. You make Kanata North the type of place where people choose to live,” said Councillor Curry.

The members of CUPE 5102 are in the process of negotiating their next collective agreement with the for-profit Sienna Group, who own and operate Red Oak. At issue are sub-standard wages that have been stagnant since 2023.
