BCFMWU

As we lead up to celebrating 50 years of our union, we'll be sharing photos from our history, starting with this vintage glimpse inside a ferry galley. 🍽️ Courtesy of the Maritime Museum of BC.📷 #TBT #BCFerries #BCFMWU

The federal budget drops November 5. We need B.C.'s new government to push for our fair share of ferry funding. Our economy depends on safe, reliable ferry transportation: buff.ly/iPcSdlu 💪 #cdnpoli #bcpoli #Budget2026 #FairFerryFunding

Daisean Zampieri helped out an injured bird at Horseshoe Bay terminal and enjoyed a stop on his shoulder before it was ready to fly away. Thanks for sharing this magical moment, Daisean! 🐦✨

A new government brings questions about what comes next. Your union’s priorities remain the same: good jobs, safe workplaces and a ferry system people can count on: buff.ly/PCS9Sc6 #bcpoli #bclab

Congrats to @LDoerkson, and thank you @Dave_Eby for your service to the province. We look forward to working with the new premier on what matters to ferry workers: good jobs, safe workplaces and reliable ferry service for coastal communities.

Photo of the week: This week’s photo features our Queen of Cowichan, with 50 years on the water behind her, at Horseshoe Bay. Thanks to Steph Norris for sending this in!

Our flags are flying at half-mast in memory of the four Canadian Armed Forces members who lost their lives in the tragic training accident at CFB Wainwright, Alberta. Our thoughts are with their families, friends, fellow service members and everyone affected by this tragedy.

Henry’s helping with convention resolutions.🐾😆 Thanks to Cassandra Russell for sending this one in! Got an idea to strengthen our union? Bring it to your local for discussion. Local-approved resolutions for convention are due November 15.

Our union is turning 50! Help shape what comes next. Convention runs March 15–17 in Vancouver. Have an idea? Bring it to your local meeting. Want to be a delegate? Ask your local president how to put your name forward.

Reliable ferries need trained, supported crews. Investing in workers reduced crew-related cancellations, but BC Ferries' plans for 2028–2032 aim to reduce labour costs. What could that mean for workers and the service coastal communities rely on? buff.ly/l2122b4

Some views never get old. 🌊 Thanks for sending in this photo after being struck by “Route 3’s never-ending beauty,” Julianna Licuanan!
