Attention:  Members of Local Lodge No. 692

 

Dear Member:

 

Your Local Lodge has asked us to visit the 692 shops throughout the Province in order to receive feedback from the membership and report that information to your Executive Board.

 

In April of this year Reo Elkin and I will be coming to your workplace to gather input from our Members.

 

As the Province of B.C. is large and work schedules are varied we wanted to provide an opportunity for all to participate. To this end we have created an online survey which can be accessed at the following link.

Please fill out the survey on line or if you would like fill out the survey on the form provided and give it to your Shop Steward. We will collect them when we visit your shop.

 

Fraternally,

 

 

 

Cordell Draayers

Jack Layton: 1950 – 2011

 

Our Jack Layton: Always Remembered With Love and Admiration

It is with the greatest sadness that I have heard of the passing of Jack Layton, our great NDP leader. Jack, you have been and remain a great inspiration to so many. Including myself. For that, I thank you.

I had the opportunity to hear Jack speak at many conferences and meetings, and was always inspired by the great Love and passion that he brought to the stage of Politics. There were many who challenged him on those Politics and on his beliefs, but none could find fault with the integrity he brought to his position.

There are also a great many at all levels of Governance who would do well to emulate Brother Jack. We who remain must continue the work that Jack has led us to, and bring into reality just and honest Government at all levels.

I close with Jack’s own words to those who follow him: “Hope and optimism have defined my political career. … As my time in political life draws to a close, I want to share with you my belief in your power to change this country and this world. Your energy, your vision, your passion for justice are exactly what this country needs today.”

Thanks again for your leadership, and for giving so willingly of yourself. Go in Peace, my friend, until we meet again.
