The end of summer is marked by Labour Day, and BC FORUM was there to celebrate this year. We share the story of the striking members of UNITE HERE Local 40 fighting for respect and a living wage, mark the first BC FORUM AGM in 3 years, and suggest ways you can stay safe during wildfire season. Finally, we recognize the hardship suffered by communities across BC and Canada impacted by wildfires and acknowledge those risking their lives to fight them. Thank you!
