Bulletin – Brother Christopher Hiscock

Brothers and Sisters:
It is with profound regret and the greatest sadness to inform all of you of the passing of our President, Friend and Brother, Christopher Hiscock
Bro. Hiscock passed away on January 19, 2025. Chris was the heart of our Executive Board. He mentored, educated, befriended and advocated for each of us. He was extremely proud of our Local and what we stand for.
Chris also sat on the District 140 Executive Board and Chaired the Air Canada Pension for many years. We ask for patience, as we work our way through this.
This is an unspeakable loss for his wife and family. Our Local will do everything we can going forward to support them. At this time though, we ask that you respect their privacy.
More information will be passed along for a celebration of life, once we know details.
