The Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union is giving back to a community that it says is facing the perfect storm of economic instability.

Union president Michelle Gawronsky was recently in Churchill, where she met with community leaders and presented a $1,000 cheque to Duke of Marlborough School for their breakfast program.

Gawronsky said that they have many union members in Churchill, and they wanted to let them know that the union is with them during the difficult times that they are facing. She added that despite all the setbacks, she was inspired by the positivity in the community.

About one in every ten people in Churchill is a member of MGEU.
