During Correctional Services Staff Recognition Week (May 4–10), we join in recognizing the dedication, professionalism, and resilience of correctional workers across our province.
This is work that demands strength, accountability, and a deep commitment to public safety—often in challenging and high-pressure environments.
As we recognize staff this week, we also take time to reflect.
On Thursday, correctional staff from across Ontario will gather at Queen’s Park for the Ceremony of Remembrance to honour those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
We encourage all members to take a moment this week to support one another and acknowledge the important work being done every day.
Correctional Services Staff Recognition Week (May 4–10)
This week, we recognize the correctional workers who show up every day in some of the most challenging conditions imaginable.
Your work requires strength, resilience, and professionalism—often without the recognition it deserves. You maintain safety, support rehabilitation, and carry the weight of a system that demands more than it gives back.
We see you. We stand with you. And we thank you.
Take a moment this week to acknowledge a colleague, check in on one another, and remember—you’re not alone in this work.
