Hello volunteers,

As you may be aware, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is currently in labour negotiations and workers could strike as early as 12:01 a.m. on Friday, June 7, 2024. 

As a TTC strike will impact all of us who use the transit system and will result in an increase in traffic.

I know as volunteers you feel a great sense of responsibility, and we are grateful for your steady commitment. We appreciate everyone who is able to make it to the Gallery for their regularly scheduled shift (the Gallery will remain open). But if your travel is impacted, and find it too challenging to commute, please don’t worry about coming in. We will adjust.

It’s always a good idea to let your staff coordinators know of your absence, so if you are not able to come in, please get in contact with your staff support. Hopefully a strike will be avoided, but if not, please know we will all get through it together (I think I’ve shared this sentiment a lot lately!) and we’ll look forward to seeing you at the Gallery, soon enough.

Thank you for your understanding as we all prepare for what could be a challenging time to get around the City! Please visit the TTC website for the most recent and up-to-date information about labour negotiations – Holly, volunteer resources
