It was a family affair for Erika Lickman at Local 1000A’s Community Action Network (CAN) BBQ picnic in London, Ontario. Lickman, who brought her daughter, son and husband to the event, was among the many local union members who gathered at Springbank Park on July 10, 2010 for a day of games, family activities and an all-you-can-eat BBQ.
Local 1000A wants to thank its members, together with their family and friends, for making the London CAN (Community Action Network) picnic a great success. The event took place at Springbank Park on July 9 and was held to provide members with a fun-filled day to relax and be with those they love.
