Hello All,

There are a few options for disaster relief that are available to members of CUPE locals. Please see below for information on how to claim for relief, if you need to.

CUPE BC Disaster Support | Application Form
CUPE BC has created a Disaster Relief Fund to support CUPE members impacted by recent catastrophic floods and mudslides. Any CUPE members in BC facing hardship due to these events are invited to apply for funding support through their Local. CUPE Locals may request funds on behalf of members – please advise the Union office if interested.
