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.

Free trade with the European Union is a bad idea for Canada
The Harper government's relentless push to sign a new Canada-EU free trade deal would undermine the rights of federal, provincial and municipal governments to manage public spending over goods and services; it would privatize public services like drinking water, prevent us from adopting strong measures to combat climate change and wipe out up to 150,000 Canadian jobs, among a long list of additional concerns. CAW President Ken Lewenza says:
So far, all signs point to a free trade deal that is lopsided, unfair and would do more harm than good to Canadians.
