CAW Women's Art History Project - Looking Back to Move Forward
The CAW Women's Program has undertaken an innovative community arts project entitled Looking Back to Move Forward that will celebrate CAW women and their history.
The project aims to compile a patchwork of CAW women's stories of struggle, activism and personal experiences over the past 25 years into a creative art collage that will be on display at CAW Council in Toronto this December.
The union has received funding from the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council for this initiative and has partnered with experienced community artist Florencia Berinstein, who will coordinate and animate the project.
The project requires the help of all CAW sisters. Women from all sectors of the union and all geographic regions are encouraged to participate.

Save the Federal Gun Registry! Say NO to Bill C-391
The CAW has joined with hundrds of thousands of Canadians aross this country calling on MPs to vote NO when Bill C-391 returns for third and final reading in Parliament in the coming month. Bill C-391 is a Conservative-lead private members bill intended to dismantle Canada's long gun registry - the existing government program that administers the registration of rifles and shotguns.
It's devastating that the Conservative government is trying to dismantle the national gun registry, with the help of members of the NDP and Liberal parties.
