If you’ve been in the ITB Contact Centre in the last few years, you might know our union sibling, Resource Officer Erixon Kabera. He passed away last week, suddenly and tragically.
His friends and coworkers remember him as a kind, friendly, helpful person. He was heavily involved in supporting members of the Rwandan Diaspora, including in his work with the Rwandan Canadian Healing Centre in Toronto.
Our spirits are so heavy, and we are holding Erixon; his boys; and his community of friends, acquaintances, neighbours, coworkers, and others in our hearts.
Rest in Power, Erixon.
With love and light,
Your UTE Local 00014 family
