Since its inception, ONA has been a leader on human rights issues that affect not only our members, but all members of our society.

As an ONA member, your collective agreement protects and gives you the right to equal treatment and freedom from discrimination and harassment because of personal characteristics including race, ancestry, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability.

In February we celebrate Black History Month, and we want to acknowledge and honor the rich contributions, resilience, and excellence of Black communities and members. This is a time to learn, reflect, and continue fostering inclusivity and equity in all we do. 

Thank you for being part of this journey towards a more equitable future. Please see the link below from the ONA' s websites for event  and more information celebrating Black History Month.
