Brothers and Sisters, it is midsummer and that means we are in the middle of festival season! Several community events have already happened and there are several more to come; do you want to see your Union represented at these events? If you want to see CUPW representation at the upcoming events in your area, then the time has come for you to attend the next Open Organization Committee meeting. We need to hear from you, the members who live and work in these communities. How can we support your interests and actions in your community?

The Pride Parade Is August 2, 2015!
Come On Down To Show Your Support!

The Vancouver Local would like to extend a warm invitation to all CUPW members of the LGBT community, straight allies, families, and friends to join us at the Vancouver Pride Parade.

• We will be marching with the CUPW banner as part of the multi union contingent. Marchers must be at the designated staging area by 12:30 PM. (Although the parade is scheduled to start at 12:00 PM, our staging location is near the end of all the floats so we will not be moving for quite a while after the start time.)
• The Multi Union marchers have been assigned the Staging Location of FN18 which means we will be on the north side of Albernie Street between Thurlow and Burrard. Please view the staging map HERE for more information.
• Be there before 12:30 PM showing all of your colours, dressed up, and ready to have fun and show your PRIDE!!!!!
