IAM District 140 made a generous food donation to the St. Patrick of the Island Church Food Bank of Pincourt. Brother ST Alfredo Acrobati personally matched the District’s contribution, doubling the impact and bringing $500 worth of food items to families in need.

Volunteers, including Mr. Arnie, expressed heartfelt gratitude to District 140 for the support, noting that demand continues to grow with 42 applicants and counting. As a gesture of solidarity, an IAM union toque was also given to volunteer Arnie. 

This week, the Air Canada District 140 Technical Operations Sub-Committees convened at the William W. Winpisinger (W3) Training Center to advance preparations for upcoming 2026 negotiations.

“Our AME, GSE, and Technical Other Sub-Committees dedicated the week to reviewing member surveys, developing proposals, and setting agendas for the negotiations. I am extremely proud of the commitment and hard work demonstrated by every committee member. Each Sub-Committee developed craft-specific proposals to best represent our members’ interests,” said Keith Aiken, IAM Air Transport Coordinator in Canada.

This session follows earlier preparation meetings, including a full Sub-Committee session in January and an Airports Sub-Committee session in September.

“We are confident and well-prepared,” added Aiken. “We look forward to entering the 2026 negotiations ready to secure an industry-leading agreement for our Air Canada members.”

IAM District 140 proudly provided food support to the Christmas Cheer Board in Winnipeg. IAM General Chairperson, Christopher Greniuk, organized the initiative, helping ensure that families in need receive meaningful assistance during the holiday season.

This gesture of solidarity highlights District 140’s ongoing commitment to supporting the community and standing with those who need it most.
