“We mourn today the passing of a great Canadian and friend to all workers, Stephen Lewis.
Stephen’s leadership had many dimensions and his establishment of the Stephen Lewis Foundation has seen over $200 million devoted to life saving drugs to the African continent.
Organized labour has been a staunch supporter of the work of the Foundation and as we mourn Stephen’s passing it is appropriate to recommit to his important work. Rest in Peace Stephen and thank you for a lifetime of commitment to social justice for all citizens."
Paul Moist. President, Manitoba Federation of Union Retirees
