We are excited to invite you to a reception kicking off our union’s 100th year.
The reception will be on May 2 starting at 5:30 pm at our Victoria Area Office (2994 Douglas Street); light refreshments will be served.
We’ll be rededicating the Area Office to our late President Emeritus John Shields, in recognition of his many contributions to our union and its members.

We are incredibly excited to announce that we will be officially opening the Terrace area office in just a few short weeks!
Since moving into a new space is just not complete without a celebration, I wanted to invite you and your family to join us for a special member event where we can celebrate this shared success and also take a peek around the new office. I for one can't wait to see it in person.
We will be gathering donations for the Terrace Emergency Shelter. We ask that if you can, to please bring a toiletry item for donation. Any item such as shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, brushes/combs, razors and pads or tampons would be greatly appreciated.
Steward Fundamentals, our new introductory 2-day course, focuses on the essential skills every steward needs to know. Through interactive group activities, role-plays, and skills development, stewards are introduced to the key roles and responsibilities of a steward as advocate, educator, organizer and communicator. Stewards will leave feeling more confident and effective in their role and skillful in their interactions with members and the Employer.
