At the September General Membership Meeting, nominations will open for all Executive positions of CUPE 1882.

This is your opportunity to become involved in your union, help represent your fellow members, and contribute to the direction of our local. We encourage all members to consider putting their name forward or nominating a fellow member.

Call for Stewards

CUPE 1882 is looking to expand our team of Union Stewards.

Stewards play a vital role in supporting members, sharing union information, and helping ensure workplace rights are protected.

Interested in becoming a Steward? CUPE 1882 is happy to support interested members by sending them to CUPE Education courses and training opportunities. No previous experience is required—just a willingness to learn and support your coworkers.

To learn more, please contact a member of the Executive.

In Solidarity,

CUPE Local 1882 Executive

Working together to support and strengthen our membership.

At our General Membership Meeting on April 14, 2026, a motion was brought forward to submit a Letter of Intent to the City of Cambridge to enter into a sponsorship agreement for the new scoreboard at the Kin1 Accessible Ball Diamond for the next ten years. The motion was seconded and carried by the membership.

Following that approval, the Letter of Intent was accepted by the City and subsequently brought before Council for final consideration. We are proud to share that Cambridge City Council has now approved the sponsorship agreement, and the new scoreboard will proudly display the CUPE Local 1882 name.

This sponsorship represents an investment of $55,000 over 10 years and supports the ongoing transformation of the Kin1 Accessible Ball Diamond into a more accessible and inclusive recreational space for residents of all ages and abilities. The project includes accessibility enhancements such as artificial turf, covered dugouts, improved spectator seating, paved pathways, and the installation of the new scoreboard.

Please join me in extending heartfelt congratulations to our newly elected Executive Officer Jacqueline Hannemann.

We are excited to see you build on our collective achievements and lead Local 1882 toward continued success. Wishing you a rewarding journey filled with inspiration, growth, and new opportunities.

Happy New Year Local 1882 Member, Friends, and Families!

As we start off 2023, your Local 1882 Executive hopes that you were able to enjoy a break over the holiday season. Reflecting on the year that just passed, it has been a busy one! Being that Covid is still something that is top of mind for some; the Local 1882 Executive decided not to host any indoor social events for 2022 as we were unsure of what would happen as we moved back in doors with the fall/winter. Hopefully in 2023 these events can return!

Some highlights of the past year: Local 1882 sponsored Cambridge Celebrates Winterfest and had a display during Unsilent Night, donated money to the Cambridge Foodbank as well as the remainder of the progressive winnings from General Membership meetings to Cambridge’s Haven House. We awarded a $500 scholarship to a child of a member who is entering post secondary school; hosted an outdoor picnic event in August; launched eight (8) grievances on behalf of members to name a few.

This past year was also an extraordinary year for welcoming several new members to our Union as well as leaving the city as they started their next adventure in retirement. ‘Welcome’ and ‘Congratulations’ to you all!

In the fall we had Executive Officer elections where we said thank you to two (2) officers who stepped down from the Executive board and welcomed two (2) new officers to our ranks. We are still looking to fill the Chief Steward role – so if you are curious or interested, please reach out!

And lastly, thank-you to all the members who volunteer their time on joint committees with the employer. It is not always an easy task to balance the workload, but you have done a great job representing your fellow members on these joint initiatives.

As we get under way planning for 2023, we are looking forward to what the New Year brings.

Your Executive board wishes you all the best for 2023.

In Solidarity,
Jennifer

Members,

With the recent announcements that the provincial and local regional government have announced with regards to the rollout of vaccination and clinic locations, we all will be able to move another step forwards in keeping us and our loved ones safe from COVID-19.

You may have some questions in terms of the vaccine and how that affects you and your working environment when you eventually return to work (for those who are still working from home and who have been working in the office all this time).

Any and all questions are important to ask so that you are informed.
We are using a form (link was sent to your personal email address on the weekend) to track your questions.  Your questions will remain anonymous and will be submitted on the membership’s behalf. This is a reminder to submit any questions by Tuesday, March 16th, 2021.

As always, if you have any questions or comments in general never hesitate to reach out to the Executive.
Stay Safe!
In Solidarity
