Elections Planning Underway for Human Rights and Equity Caucus Representatives

Regional caucus representatives for each of the six groups to be elected in November

BCNU is proud to support human rights & equity (HRE) caucus groups as we strive to make our union a safe and welcoming place for all. There are four equity-seeking caucus groups including the Indigenous Leadership Circle, LGBTQ Caucus, Mosaic of Colour Caucus and Workers with Disabilities Caucus. In addition, BCNU supports the Men in Nursing Group and the Young Nurses' Network.

Each of the six caucuses will hold elections for regional caucus representatives. These positions will be elected across all 16 BCNU regions. The term of service is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.
