We are pleased to announce that our BC Regional Women’s Conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver (655 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC) commencing Monday, October 23 at 7:00pm and concluding on Wednesday, October 25 at 12:00pm.
Locals are encouraged to send delegates from equity-deserving groups including trans women and two-spirit members, queer women, Black, Indigenous and women of colour, women living with disAbilities, and young workers. This conference welcomes all our sisters, not just our cis-ters!
The BC Regional Women’s Conference is a regional conference that allows participants to come together, build skills, exchange knowledge and strategize for the future while focusing on the region. This conference is for BC locals only. Alternating regional and national women’s conferences meets the Regional Council Women’s Committees’ recommendation which was endorsed by the National Executive Board. The next national women’s conference will be in the fall of 2024 at the Unifor Family Education Centre in Port Elgin, Ontario.
Conference delegates will have the opportunity to hear about some of the tremendous work being done within our union and your communities in the struggle for gender equality. Through participation in skills-building workshops and conversations hosted by local activists and leaders, delegates will gain knowledge and build relationships they can bring back to their local union and to advocate for equity.
As always, this conference fills up quickly. Please submit your registrations early to avoid disappointment. The registration deadline is September 15, 2023.
The conference begins at 7:00 p.m. Monday, October 23, 2023 and ends at 12:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 25, 2023. Registration takes place on Monday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
