As we are all aware the COVID-19 cases have reached an alarming level in British Columbia. Workers at PPC are doing their best to combat COVID-19 by following physical distancing guidelines, taking different break times, doing self-assessments before coming to work, wearing proper personal protective equipment and having volunteer cleaners for high touch surfaces, just to name a few. Despite these efforts, cases inside the plant are on the rise. At the Pacific Processing Plant, we have had over 16 (sixteen) cases in the past 4 (four) weeks.

To All Members,
It has come to our attention that a bulletin was posted on the bulletin boards without our knowledge. This bulletin was not written or approved by the local and it contained some highly sensitive information, which was upsetting to those who saw the bulletin. If you wish to post something on the bulletin boards we ask you to filter it through the local, so it’s considered official communication.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us at (604) 685-6581
In Solidarity,

There was some cause for celebration in the 2021 Federal Budget for funding child care.
Child care advocates say the federal budget marks an historic turning point for children and families and will bring about a better, fairer and faster economic recovery.
The federal budget laid-out a multi-year budget plan to make child care programs more accessible, affordable and inclusive. This includes a plan to help reduce parent fees to $10 a day within five years. Bringing down parent fees by publicly funding the operation of regulated child care services is the best way to build a universal system that is good for the sector, for children and that is affordable for parents.
