Happy Holidays

on behalf of the...

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As the holiday season approaches the LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre wishes to remind our brothers and
sisters to work safely to ensure that you enjoy quality time with your families this holiday season. With the
new year quickly approaching, we remind all members who work at heights to complete the mandatory
Working at Heights training program.

The Training Centre offers this program six days a week and we are making every effort to
accommodate members and employers wishing to enroll. The Working at Heights program is very specific
in its requirements, and we are asking that all members adhere to, and respect the process in working
towards completing this program.

In closing, on behalf of the LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre Board of Trustees and Staff, I want to wish all
of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year.

Fraternally Yours,

Sandro Pinto
Executive Director, LiUNA Local 183 Training Centre
