Employees at Armstrong Regional Cooperative (ARC)

Employees at Armstrong Regional Cooperative (ARC) Liquor, members of SEIU Local 2, in Kelowna have been on strike since September 14. Their demand is simple: a real wage increase that will provide them with a good living in their community.UFCW Local 247 is inspired by their perseverance in staying on the picket lines for over two months now. To ARC: It’s time to listen to them and get back to the table with a deal that includes a real wage increase.Solidarity!#bcpoli #bclab #union #strike

We're getting ready for the Shoe Memorial!Each year on December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, the Shoe Memorial honours the memory of the murdered women and girls by placing a set of shoes to represent each victim.Started by the late Pat Kelln, the Shoe Memorial takes place each year locally and in other communities right across the province and country – a powerful public display and a blunt reminder of how many women and girls continue to be killed as a result of gender-based violence.Take a moment to join us in remembering and honouring the victims at New Westminster City Hall, December 6, from 9am-1pm.

Let’s continue to let this reminder guide our work, today and onwards.
