The BC Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU) welcomes 75 new members following a merger between two seniors' care facilities in Greater Victoria. On April 1, 2018 Rest Haven Lodge, which will continue to operate 73 residential complex care beds for seniors in Sidney, merged with Broadmead Care Society where the BCGEU already represents over 400 workers. 

"Broadmead Care Society is a non-profit organization with a community-first approach and an excellent reputation in seniors' care delivery," says BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. "We are pleased to welcome our new members under Broadmead's umbrella and look forward to supporting them in the important work they do in their community."

The BCGEU represents over 16,000 workers in various health care sectors. To read more about the merger click here.
