Our community is important to us. That's why our workers need the support they are entitled to from the BC Government. It's time to demand that the government fulfill their obligation to non-unionized community social service workers and provide pay equity. #EqualPayBC Find out how you can help at: www.equalpaybc.ca

As a Community Social Services Organization, we need to advocate against the ongoing wage disparity in our sector. We're calling on the BC Government to fulfill their new mandate and bring pay equity to our workers. #EqualPayBC Find out how you can help at: www.equalpaybc.ca

Today is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities and we encourage everyone to read about what this day represents, while taking action to ensure an inclusive future for all individuals. "Disability inclusion is an essential condition to upholding human rights, sustainable development, and peace and security. It is also central to the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to leave no one behind. The commitment to realizing the rights of persons with disabilities is not only a matter of justice; it is an investment in a common future." - The United Nations #IDPD https://www.un.org//obser/day-of-persons-with-disabilities

We hope everyone is having a great Friday! Check out the gorgeous colouring done by Adrian at Freedom Place. Tenants also created a Care Aide Appreciation wall as a way to recognize staff!

We believe in equal pay for equal work. The province decides who gets paid, when they get paid, and how much they get paid. We have taken legal action after no response from the government. Visit equalpaybc.ca https://ecs.page.link/jMkBV #equalpaybc
