TORONTO—It’s an out-of-this-world moment for Unifor as cookies made by members have officially reached new heights—travelling all the way to space.

Commercial Bakeries’ iconic Maple Crème cookies, proudly produced by members of Unifor Local 6006, were shared by astronauts aboard the Artemis II mission, who loved them to the moon and back. 

This marks the first time these Canadian-made treats have gone beyond Earth’s orbit, making them the most far-reaching cookies in history.  

Saba Eitizaz fled from Pakistan to Canada after “violence online trickled into my real life” for reporting on human rights issues.

The Toronto Star producer and podcaster came to this country for safety, but hasn’t been able to leave behind the harassment and vitriol.

“Now, the place of refuge is now looking like the place of escape,” Eitizaz said. “I really don’t know where to go next.”
