As many of you all know, the National Executive Board (NEB) have unanimously voted in favor to support the renewal of the Collective Agreement for a two (2) year term which if adopted by the membership, would expire January 31, 2024.
We know many of you have questions regarding the renewal of the proposed Collective Agreement. The Vancouver Local Executive Committee decided to invite the National Director of Pacific Region and member of the NEB, Sister Coleen Jones to attend the July 24th GMM to answer your questions before ratifications votes start in August.

Sisters, Brothers:
This year, the heatwaves have come much earlier in some areas of the country. This is certainly welcomed with great optimism following the dark period we went through last winter with the virus and its more contagious variants. But while much of our attention is focused on COVID-19, we still have to face various other challenging conditions, including heatwaves looming on the horizon.
For the second summer in a row, we will have to deal with the heat while also wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) to counter the virus, at least as long as the Public Health Agency of Canada requires it.
Take the necessary precautions with the heat and the virus, and encourage your coworkers to do the same.
