Member Recognized

Chris Sims Bench

On October 3, 2013, CUPE Local 69 members (City of Brandon) recognized long-time CUPE activist Chris Sims with a memorial bench, placed outside City Hall in Brandon, Manitoba.

Brother Chris Sims started with the City of Brandon on February 4, 1974. During his 39 year career with the City of Brandon, he represented CUPE Local No. 69 as an executive member and sat on a number of committees for the Local. It was with great sadness that suddenly Brother Sims passed away on March 6, 2013. He was a true leader, friend and role model for all union members.
