Daisean Zampieri helped out an injured bird at Horseshoe Bay terminal and enjoyed a stop on his shoulder before it was ready to fly away. Thanks for sharing this magical moment, Daisean! 🐦✨

Our flags are flying at half-mast in memory of the four Canadian Armed Forces members who lost their lives in the tragic training accident at CFB Wainwright, Alberta. Our thoughts are with their families, friends, fellow service members and everyone affected by this tragedy.

Our union is turning 50! Help shape what comes next. Convention runs March 15–17 in Vancouver. Have an idea? Bring it to your local meeting. Want to be a delegate? Ask your local president how to put your name forward.

Reliable ferries need trained, supported crews. Investing in workers reduced crew-related cancellations, but BC Ferries' plans for 2028–2032 aim to reduce labour costs. What could that mean for workers and the service coastal communities rely on? buff.ly/l2122b4

When candidates knock on your door, tell them what matters to you, whether it’s affording a home, getting the training to move ahead or feeling safe at work. We keep the coast connected. We deserve to be heard. 🗳️ buff.ly/1yrQTwh #bcpoli #BCElxn #BCElection #BCVotes

Mandatory arbitration lets employers wait out workers. We've lived it. Bill C-39 could give federally regulated employers the same advantage. Read why we’re want MPs to amend it: buff.ly/Lrx8VFu #CanadianPolitics #Cdnpoli #BCpoli #bclab
