Hi Everyone,

I have some information that may be useful for you.

First, Shift Replacement Opportunities for Union Staff have been posted again. This is an opportunity to pick up shifts in a different position than you are currently working. The deadline is February 9 and the complete information has been posted on the Intranet.

Next, did you spend any time working from home last year? If so, you should qualify for a tax credit from the Federal government. Read more about it on the CRA website.

The BC Recovery benefit came out in December. There is still time to apply to get it if you haven’t already. Learn more about it on the BC government website.

Until further notice, the general membership meeting will be happening on the third Thursday of the month on Zoom. The link to register will be sent out a week before the meeting. Also, minutes of the previous meeting and the agenda will be sent out about 30 minutes before the meeting starts. Those who register late will not receive an agenda.

Please send any questions to any member of the executive.

In Solidarity,
Sandra
