Endorsed Candidates in Upcoming Municipal Elections - North Vancouver

Tuesday, November 8, 2011
To: All COPE 378 Members in North Vancouver

Civic elections will be held in your municipality on Saturday, November 19. You can also vote in Advance Polls on Wednesday, November 9.

As a member of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378 (COPE 378), we wanted to inform you that your local labour council has endorsed some candidates in their municipal election bids. You can find the list of endorsed candidates below.

Your local labour council has endorsed these individuals as the best candidates to represent issues that affect working people in your community. Before each election candidates seeking local labour council endorsement submit their information and undergo an interview to ensure that they take progressive positions, especially on issues impacting union members.

Your municipal representatives can have a huge impact on important issues like public transit, transportation, affordable housing, land use and resource development, and local education.

In addition to looking at specific issues, your local labour council has ensured the endorsed candidates reflect trade unions’ values and vision of a more just and equal society where workers and all community members have a say.

We believe these candidates have the experience and skills to be effective assets to your community:
