CUPE 1281 is pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 Mary-Jo BDS Award: Guelph 4 Palestine!

In a field crowded by amazing organizations working for Palestinian liberation, it was difficult to pick a single group! G4P is a group of artists, healthcare professionals, students, people of faith and committed community members that have truly galvanized the city of Guelph. We recognize the creativity of their work, and how they have continuously connected with folks on many levels and in different places, including the People’s Conference for Palestinian Solidarity.

This award honours the legacy of Mary-Jo Nadeau, a former CUPE 1281 staff representative and activist, professor, leader, mentor and comrade to many.

Free Palestine!
