Support Your Neighbours & The Services You Count On
We’re your CUPE 2269 neighbours—the people who maintain Squamish’s infrastructure, run its recreational facilities, and provide the services that make our community safe and healthy. We are fighting for a new contract that is fair, reasonable, and recognizes the rapidly rising cost of living in our region. We need wages that are in line with other municipalities so we can continue to live and thrive in the community we serve.
Why This Matters for Squamish:
- We Live & Work Here: We are deeply invested in Squamish because it’s our home, too. Fair wages allow us to live in the community we serve, and more work-life balance means we have more time to contribute as coaches, volunteers, and neighbours. Investing in us is an investment in a stable, experienced workforce right here in Squamish.
- Keeping Pace with the Region: We are not asking for the extraordinary. We are asking for wage increases that reflect the rapidly rising cost of living in our region and are comparable to what workers in other municipalities are already earning.
- Solutions for Stability: Our bargaining committee members have prioritized proposals that improve services and efficiency, not just wages and benefits. We’ve put forward constructive solutions aimed at recruiting and retaining skilled workers, which reduces costly turnover and keeps services consistent and reliable for you.
- Work-Life Balance for a Healthier Community: Compressed work weeks help us balance our jobs with family and community responsibilities. They support healthier, more productive workplaces. It’s a win for workers and a win for the community we serve.
This is about more than a pay cheque. It’s about securing and keeping the experienced, dedicated staff that Squamish needs to continue thriving.
