With great sadness, we share the passing of Elisa “Elsa” Maesa, a dedicated steward, EVS worker at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, proud Filipina, and valued SEIU Healthcare member and API Caucus Leader.

Elsa was a strong advocate for her coworkers and a compassionate leader who embodied the spirit of solidarity. Her kindness, dedication, and commitment to helping others left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.

Our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, coworkers, and loved ones. May she rest in peace, and may her memory continue to inspire us all. 💜

So much love goes out to Mikey’s family, Local 6 API leaders and Local 6 Deputy Director Greg Ramirez for helping us to continue to honor Mikey’s legacy. 💙
