Ottawa: Join the public service contingent to Draw The Line before the federal budget
Start: Saturday, September 20, 2025•10:00 AM
Location:PSAC parking lot•233 Gilmour St, Ottawa, ON K2P0P2 CA
March with fellow union members and your elected union representatives at the Draw the Line coalition rally on Saturday, September 20 in Ottawa!
We will be rallying on September 20th to defend public services against the austerity agenda.
Defending our jobs and the federal public service from ideological attacks will require building broad coalitions to apply political pressure to this government. You will be taking action alongside thousands of Canadians representing civil society organizations holding the Carney government accountable for its broken promise of “caps, not cuts” while uniting with communities already hit by his reckless agenda.
Because austerity hurts us all, we must unite and fight back.
Please RSVP so that we can estimate numbers for materials, parking space, parking overflow and refreshments.
