OXFORD - United Way Oxford is honouring CAMI employees and members of Unifor Local 88.
They were officially presented with the 2026 Wes Magill Award during United Way's campaign kick off event on Thursday. Kelly Gilson, the outgoing Executive Director for United Way Oxford, said she was happy to present this award as her last official duty before she retires.
"This is a very special award, and it is going to a very special group of people. From the day the CAMI plant opened in 1989, both GM and Unifor 88 have treated United Way as part of their family. Employees throughout the years have been incredibly generous - they have been through the ups and downs of the automotive sector, and they understand the need to help others. There is no better example of a group that consistently has walked the walk and talked the talk. Their positive impact on out community is truly immeasurable."
The Wes Magill award honours individuals, labour groups and organizations that have made exceptional contributions to United Way. CAMI employees have members of Unifor Local 88 have not only volunteered and held their own workplace campaigns over the years, but they have also contributed through sponsored employee placements and board and committee leadership.
