Human Rights and Equity Caucus and Network Elections

BCNU is proud to support seven human rights and equity (HRE) caucuses and networks as we strive to make our union a safe and welcoming place for all. Elections for HRE caucus and network regional representatives are taking place Nov. 2–5. The term of service is Jan. 1, 2027 to Dec. 31, 2029.

Positions are available in all 16 BCNU regions for each of the four equity caucuses (Indigenous Leadership Circle, Mosaic of Colour caucus, 2SLGBTQ+ caucus and Workers with Disabilities caucus) and three networks (Men in Nursing, New and Young Nurses’ Network and Seniors Nurses’ Network).
