On behalf of our Executive Board, delegates, and staff, we acknowledge the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation taking place on September 30.
We hope folks will use this opportunity to reflect on the history of this country and to commit to stand up and speak out for the rights of Indigenous peoples.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Re-circulated by the New Westminster & District Labour Council
**September 30, 2021 is Orange Shirt Day**
The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Nation, who announced more than 200 unmarked graves had been found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., is inviting people to mark Canada’s first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. They have shared a video to help people learn the Secwepemc Honour Song to drum and sing at 2:15 p.m. Pacific time on Sept. 30.
Chief Rosanne Casimir says news of the unmarked graves sparked a global outpouring of support and the invitation offers a way for people to connect. The nation is encouraging participants to teach the honour song in schools, workplaces and at home.
The NWDLC Community and Social Action Committee ordered orange Every Child Matters t-shirts from the Orange Shirt Society. The shirts were provided by Kit and Kaboodle in Williams Lake and $5.00 from the sale of every shirt goes to the Society to support their work. Due to high provincial demand we were only able to source the following sizes at this time:
Youth Large, Adult Small, Adult medium, Adult Large and Adult 3XL.
Shirts are available at a cost of $20 to delegates, with some shirts also being donated to local Indigenous groups.
Please contact the Labour Council office if you would like to pick up a shirt before September 30th, at 604-291-9306 or nwdlc@shawcable.com.
Please note, our office will be closed on September 30 in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Survey: The Impact of COVID-19 on Anti-Asian Discrimination and Hate Victimization: What do BC Residents Think?
Circulated on Behalf of NWDLC
From SFU’s School of Criminology
Researchers in Simon Fraser University’s School of Criminology are seeking information about discrimination and hate victimization during COVID-19 for a study titled: The Impact of COVID-19 on Anti-Asian Discrimination and Hate Victimization: What do BC Residents Think?
Anyone meeting the study’s selection criteria is welcome to participate, but the researchers are particularly interested in those who have had direct or vicarious experiences with anti-Asian discrimination, victimization, and/or interactions with the police. The study involves anonymous surveys with BC residents to explore their experiences and feelings of safety during the pandemic and learn about perceptions of and relationships with local police. Respondents will be entered to win a gift card upon survey completion. Information: https://ca.research.net/r/anti-asian_discrimination
Please feel free to share this information among your informal networks.
For more information, contact the Principal Investigator, Dr. Stephanie Wiley (swiley@sfu.ca) or Research Assistant, Emma Wong (emma_wong@sfu.ca).
Feedback Wanted on Two Surveys: Skilled Trades Certification and Paid Sick Leave
Re-circulated on behalf of the New Westminster & District Labour Council
Here are two important opportunities for feedback and input. Please take a moment to complete the surveys and share widely with your contacts:
Survey on Skilled Trades Certification
https://feedback.engage.gov.bc.ca/533628?lang=en
Background: In 2003 the BC Liberals removed the compulsory trades system in BC, and we are currently the only province without a certification system. Your input in support of restoring compulsory trade certification is important to ensure workers voices are heard. The made-in-B.C. certification system will support higher paying, more stable work for trades workers and help the province build the foundation of a strong economy. Survey is open until August 31st at 4pm.
Survey on Paid Sick Leave
engage.gov.bc.ca/paidsickleave/
Background from Hon. Raj Chouhan, MLA:
Our government introduced three days of paid sick leave during the pandemic, to bridge the gap for people accessing the federal sickness benefit. At the same time, we committed to putting in place a permanent paid sick leave program, so that everyone can access paid sick days and stay home when they need to. This permanent program will come into effect in January 2022, but we want you to tell us what it should look like.
We want to make sure this program reflects the needs and experiences of people in B.C., so we’re inviting both workers and employers to participate in a short survey to help us shape the program. The survey is open until September 14. Whether you currently have paid sick days at your workplace or not, we want to hear from you. The survey should only take a few minutes and doesn’t ask for any personal information. All the responses will be kept confidential.
*Note: The BC Federation of Labour is calling for a permanent, universal, accessible, and employer-paid sick leave program in BC.
