You are invited to join us and your fellow BCGEU members for a day of education at the Cariboo Area Office.

STEP UP, our introductory one-day course, will introduce you to the BCGEU, explore our common values, union culture, and our diverse community of members. Through stories of solidarity and courage, you will gain the strength and support you need to begin your journey as a new or returning steward. Along the way, you will learn about your fundamental union rights and useful union tools and strategies for getting started in your role. Newly elected stewards will have priority registration. You will leave feeling more informed, confident, and ready to support a member through a Step 1 grievance. This course is the first step on our new learning pathway for stewards.

**NOTE: A Union paid leave of absence will be provided with this course, please include LOA requirements with your RSVP. Hotel accommodation is available for the night before ONLY to members attending in person from Bella Coola, Quesnel or outlying areas. Lunch will be provided. Please indicate if you have any allergies or special dietary requirements in your RSVP.**
