Campaign of the Year

The Campaign of the Year award is presented to an organization that achieved tremendous success in their employee campaign in 2022.

This year we are delighted to present the award to General Motors St. Catharines Propulsion Plant GM and employees of UNIFOR Local 199 conducted another successful employee giving campaign demonstrating immense creativity, enthusiasm and perseverance. What was already a successful campaign saw an increase thanks to creative incentives and an overall commitment to the campaign by the Hourly Reps and Campaign Committee.

GM has remained the number one Employee Campaign for United Way in Niagara for nearly 70 years with a current 41% participation rate, GM is a model for a successful campaign. The success of the United Way campaign is a direct result of the culture of giving that is engrained in the plant. Congratulations, General Motors and Unifor local 199!
