The Union Hall has re-opened!

As restrictions ease across the country and here in British Columbia, we are pleased to announce the we are able to open the doors to the Hall. The Maritime Labor Center, where the Hall is located, has opened the doors to the facility as a whole.

You will now be able to access the Hall without having to call to gain entry to the building.

We are located at Suite 130-111 Victoria Drive. The closest entry door to the office is located in the parking lot on Pandora Drive, just East of Victoria Drive.

If you require a meeting with an officer, please call ahead to make an appointment with the individual you wish to speak to. That way you will avoid any delays if the officer in question is not available at the time.

Our phone number is 604-685-6581. Please listen to the list of extensions to find the officer you wish to speak to.

Thank you everyone for your patience during the time the building was locked.

In Solidarity,
