Multi-Union Delegation
Strengthening Solidarity between
Canadian and Cuban Workers
2026 May Day Celebration in Havana
For Cuba Together We Create — 7-day Delegation (dates to be determined)
The Cuban Labour Movement invites their International comrades to celebrate together the struggle against imperialism, colonialism and capitalism.
The Workers Central Union of Cuba (CTC) and Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) will host participants coming across the globe and commemorate the life and work of the Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.
Solidarity With Cuba in the Midst of the US Imperialist Attacks
CoDev is inviting the Canadian working people and Cuba's allies, especially union members, to participate this year in the celebration of May Day in Havana.
Our partners on the Island have been working hard to resist the unjustified and cruel embargo imposed by the US government for more than six decades.
The demonstration of International Solidarity is today more necessary than ever to respond to the upsurge of economic violence of the Trump administration against the Island and the countries that have not succumbed to the current ultra-right wave.
Cubans' revolutionary legacy belongs not just to them but to everybody who struggles for sovereignty and justice.

Along with CTC, IICAP, SNTAP and SNTECD, CoDev organizes a multi-union delegation to inmerse Canadian unionists in the main celebration of Cuban people.
