Sarnia’s Labour Day parade steps off this Monday morning as the region’s petrochemical economy faces new pressure from the US-Canada trade fight. The 124-year-old march moves from Christina and Davis streets down Front Street to Centennial Park, with an estimated 3,400 participants. New US tariffs are hitting plastics made in Sarnia’s refineries, and Canada plans countertariffs the very next day on September 8th. Organizers say this year’s parade theme, unity among workers, carries extra weight under the strain.
