Local 37 held their Election of Officers this past June. The newly elected Executive

(pictured at left) was sworn in July 8 at Pond’s Resort and Lodge in Ludlow, New Brunswick on the beautiful Miramichi River. Recording Secretary Peggy Galbraith facilitated a valuable afternoon session that provided board members and staff with an opportunity to get to know each other better through team-building exercises.

Local 37, and all of its members, are sincerely indebted to departing Executive Board Members Derek Gallen, Allison Porter, Cathy Shea and Doug Wallace for their service, dedication, and loyalty to the ideals of the labour movement.
