We are CUPE Local 1883
We protect public health and help keep our water clean. We answer the call when residents need help navigating Regional services. We support public transit, manage waste services and help keep our communities moving. We inspect restaurants, maintain our airport, preserve our local history and help shape our growing communities. We help our neighbours find jobs, access housing and get financial support when they need it. We also keep the Region running behind the scenes through planning, finance and administration.
Across our worksites and communities, we deliver the public services residents rely on every day.
We are CUPE 1883. We keep Waterloo Region running.
