Cihan Erdal is a Canadian permanent resident, queer youth activist, doctoral student, and coordinator of the Centre for Urban Youth Research at Carleton University in Ottawa. He was unjustly detained in Turkey on unfounded charges in September 2020, after being swept up in a mass arrest of politicians, activists, and academics in Istanbul.

Their first campaign in the fall of 2020 drew thousands of supporters and put Cihan’s case on Ottawa’s agenda. Now, there are new actions the Canadian government can take to help bring Cihan safely home. Send a message to Canadian officials now, using the following link:

This Remembrance Day, CUPE Local 2195 made a $500 donation to the Barrhaven Legion 641 in honour of Canadian soldiers who have and continue to fight for our country.

The Act of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.

 Steven Boucher (Treasurer Local 2195) and Stephane Guy, President of the Barrhaven Legion 641
