October 1st is the International Day of the Older Person. This is why the CUPW Vancouver Local is asking members to donate to the 411 Seniors Centre in Vancouver BC.
The 411 Seniors Centre is a 40 plus year old organization offering a place for seniors to meet, play, learn, discuss, and get their concerns met. Pre pandemic they offered programs including:
CUPW continues to encourage all of our members, of which the majority are postal workers, to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their coworkers, their families and their communities.
Maintaining the health and safety of our members and the public is our number one priority.
In light of the federal government announcement on mandatory vaccination, we urge the government to provide the full details of application.
We also expect the government to meaningfully consult with unions before making any decisions that could significantly impact our members.
CUPW will also engage with Canada Post to continue to protect the health, safety, and rights of our members in continuing to provide important services to the public.

Starting this week, Volunteers will be handing out Orange Ribbons to stand in Solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, against the atrocities of the Canadian Colonial System.
We encourage our members to donate when receiving a ribbon, and to wear it during the ongoing process of these unfortunate times.
All proceeds will go to the Indian Residential School Society Survivors, located in North Vancouver. The IRSSS provides essential services to Residential School Survivors, their families, and those dealing with intergenerational trauma. These impacts affect every community across B.C. and Canada.
In Solidarity,
Kevin Biggs, Organizing director
