As a union with members working in domestic and international waters, we would like to take a moment to celebrate World Maritime Day. During the pandemic, as always, these members have played a key role in supporting Canadians. Here are a few stories highlighting some of the great things they have done over the years:

• International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend – What you should know
• Construction of the Peterborough Lift Lock – History and quick facts
• The shelling of Estevan Point Lighthouse: A 78-year-old mystery
• Member’s profile: Katia Couture – Deckhand, Canadian Coast Guard
• Member’s profile: Justine Etzkorn – CCG, Principal Lightkeeper

UCTE is grateful for all the hard work of our members in the maritime community. Thank you.
