We at Local 47 are proud to represent sheet metal workers, roofers, sheeters & deckers, and production fabricators within the Eastern part of Ontario along the St. Lawrence River from a point just east of Brockville Ontario to the Quebec border. From this point we proceed north along the beautiful Ottawa River to Mattawa Ontario, this is where LU 504 (Sudbury, North Bay, and Timmins) takes over jurisdiction to the north. At this point we turn to the southwest through the wilderness of Algonquin Park and then returning south through various rural counties bordering on the Peterborough area (LU 30) and Kingston (LU 269) jurisdictions to our west, until once again arriving at the St. Lawrence River, which in some-places puts us barely a kilometer from our American neighbours (neighbors) on the opposite shore. As you can see we cover a very large geographic area but we're still only a phone call or an email away.
The Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG) is the only national organization dedicated to excellence in police governance in Canada. Founded in 1989 with the goal to improve the effectiveness of civilian bodies that govern local police services, we have since grown to represent 80% of municipal police service oversight bodies throughout Canada.
For over 30 years, the CAPG has worked diligently to achieve the highest standards as the national voice of civilian oversight of municipal police. Legitimate police powers are derived from the consent of the public. As a result, it is incumbent upon the members of the CAPG to safeguard the public trust by acting ethically. The ethical foundation of justice, rule of law, moral core, human dignity and democratic principles forms the context for ethical decision making, which guide decisions made by the CAPG. The primary duty of all CAPG members is to work in support of Canadian democratic values that are enshrined in the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
