Roughly 5,000 Unifor members and their families gathered at Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ont., on July 12, 2026, for the union’s annual Ontario region Member Appreciation Day.
The skies provided perfect summer weather for this family event, which featured special early park entry, a barbecue lunch and ice cream, and a full day of access to rides, shows, and the water park.
Members were encouraged to wear their Unifor colours and swag and many showed up in their red bucket hats and “Protect Canadian Jobs” t-shirts.
“This is another way we build solidarity among our members and our local unions,” said Unifor National Secretary-Treasurer Len Poirier.
“Our members work so hard all-year round, the Wonderland experience is an opportunity for them to spend time with their family and ours and let their hair down, even upside down on a roller coaster if they want.”
Unifor’s Wonderland tradition continues to grow year after year, drawing members from across Ontario.
Supported through subsidized tickets from Unifor National and the Ontario Regional Council, the annual event continues to draw members from across the province and has become a summer tradition for many families.
“Our members dedicate so much of themselves to their workplaces, their communities, and their union,” said Ontario Regional Director Samia Hashi.
Today is about celebrating them and creating space for families to enjoy time together, have fun, and make lasting memories. This event has become a cherished summer tradition that reflects the strength, diversity, and spirit of our union.”
