If you plan to attend the meeting in person, the BCGEU office is across the street from Renfrew Skytrain Station in the Broadway Tech Complex (#130 – 2920 Virtual Way). If you are travelling by car, please park on the street as the underground parkade is locked in the evenings. When you arrive at the office, please proceed to ground level (two floors up from street level) and down the hall to the BCGEU meeting rooms. You can then press the intercom to be let in.

Please note, mask use is now optional in our buildings, including in common areas and meeting rooms. Staff and visitors to BCGEU buildings may, of course, continue to use masks and other layers of protection based on their own comfort and risk factors. We ask that we respect others and wear masks if requested in groups. Please be reminded that no one should attend BCGEU buildings if they have active cold or flu-like symptoms.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

In Solidarity,

Jennifer Elkabbany, Local 1203 Chairperson

Romeena Sidhu, Staff Representative
