Are you a Union activist? Do you want to know what you can do to strengthen your Union while learning more about the Union advantage and Canada’s labour movement? Maybe you’re a Shop Steward and want to add to your arsenal of skills to face those difficult situations with management. If you’ve answered yes to these questions, or are simply interested in playing a bigger role in your Union, you should consider applying for sponsorship to attend one of the week-long labour education classes that take place at the Canadian Labour Congress Pacific Region Winter School every winter in Harrison Hot Springs, BC.

Local 258 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is pleased to offer a limited number of sponsorships to our members to attend Western Canada’s biggest labour school that features a variety of core programs, all taught by experienced labour activists in a unique learning environment with Union members from other communities and industries.

Application forms and course calendars are offered annually, in the late fall, for Local 258 IBEW members. Successful applicants are notified after applications are reviewed by the Local 258 IBEW Executive Board. Please note there are a limited number of sponsorships available.

Sponsorships include travel costs, payment of your wages for the week your class takes place, accommodation at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa where classes take place, meals and all fees associated with attending the class.
