At this time of tumultuous economic change and geopolitical turmoil, it is time to chart a new vision for a more just world. This year’s annual Errol Black Chair in Labour Issues Fundraising Brunch will bring us together for a morning of inspiration to build a better future for all.
We are thrilled that Peggy Nash is the keynote speaker on “Rebuilding the Left: What is needed today?”.
Peggy Nash is the new Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA). She is a former NDP member of parliament, where she served as official opposition critic in Finance and Industry. Prior to becoming a parliamentarian, Peggy was a senior labour negotiator with the CAW (now Unifor), where she led negotiations in the auto, airlines and service sectors. She also developed groundbreaking human rights and equity programs for which she was named to the Order of Canada and awarded an honorary Doctor of Law from Brock University. She is the author of the book Women Winning Office: An Activist’s Guide to Getting Elected.
The 2025 Errol Black Chair in Labour Issues Fundraising Brunch will honour the incredible work of the National Farmers Union (NFU) Manitoba region in supporting locally owned, family farms, food security and food sovereignty, fair food prices for both farmers and consumers, the labour rights of migrant workers, environmental sustainability, anti-capitalism, and connecting rural and urban people.
The NFU is an organization of, and for, farmers and farmworkers in Canada, working together to democratically achieve agricultural policies that ensure dignity and income security for farmers and farmworkers while protecting and enhancing rural environments for future generations.
Please join us Sunday November 2, 2025
*Note the change of location – we are back at the Hotel Fort Gary , 222 Broadway, where the Brunch first started!
