Labour Day 2021
Since 1999, the Saskatoon & District Labour Council (SDLC) has organized a community BBQ (free-of-charge) to recognize Labour Day. Typically, we cook and serve 2500 hamburgers, 1500 hotdogs, 2000 bananas, and juice boxes. Many affiliated unions set up booths and provide swag, treats, balloons, Fish pond for children, and live musical entertainment during the BBQ. Naturally due to the implications of COVID, we were unable to host our traditional BBQ in 2020 and 2021. It is important to the SDLC that we continue to profile Labour Day, celebrating community spirit by giving back to our community in a different way.
