March 13th, 2020
To all CUPE Local 1936 Members,
Given the rapidly evolving situation COVID-19 and with an abundance of caution, Local 1936 Table Officers have made the difficult decision to cancel the March 18th, 2020 membership meeting.
The provincial government has asked British Columbia citizens to take an active role in protecting ourselves from a COVID-19 epidemic in the hopes that proactive efforts by the citizens of British Columbia will help “flatten the curve” and slow the progress of this disease throughout our province.
The government of BC has banned all gatherings of 250 or more and has recommended against all non-essential travel outside of Canada, including the United States. Those who chose to travel outside of Canada despite this advisory will be required to self-quarantine for a period of 14 days.
We ask that members honor these requests by the provincial government as they are doing everything in their power to protect all British Columbians from a COVID-19 epidemic.
Please take good care of yourselves and remember-wash your hands frequently.
In solidarity,
Sheryl Burns
President, CUPE Local 1936
