It is critically important that members wishing to run and be nominated for a position update their email with the union so that we can communicate with you about the local election process.  

Members wishing to be nominated must fill out a paper form and deliver it to their BCGEU Area Office by the close of nominations on November 20^th, 2025. Or you can email this to your area office at [email protected].
 
If there is an election for a position, candidates may submit one page of information (8-1/2 x 11, black and white) for distribution to members with ballots.
 
This must be received at the area office within one business day of the close of nominations, but we encourage you to send it in with your nomination so that you do not miss the opportunity because of unforeseen circumstances. 

We will continue to send more information as we move into the next phases of the interim local elections. 

 
In Solidarity,
 
Sheila Knight
Staff Representative
