Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
burnley
north.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Community
savings
credit
union
has
been
serving
working
people
in
british
columbia
since
1944
and
there's
a
branch
in
burnaby
north
on
hastings
street.
It
was
created
by
members
of
the
iwa
and
its
founding
mission
was,
and
I
quote,
to
serve
those
neglected
by
big
banks.
A
It
took
over
the
federal
civil
servants,
credit
union
where
my
father
banked
in
ontario,
and
it's
where
I
opened
an
account
when
I
moved
to
bc
today.
Community
savings
continues
to
lead
the
way
in
ensuring
that
the
bc
economy
works
for
working
people,
for
example,
concerned
about
the
looming
skills
gap.
Community
savings
conducted
a
study
about
community
benefits
agreements.
It
was
able
to
confirm
that
cbas
are
an
effective
way
to
upskill.
The
underrepresented
workforce
groups
such
as
women,
indigenous
people,
youth
and
local
residents
already
account
for
46
percent
of
employment.
A
So
far,
at
cba
sites,
community
savings
launched
the
701
movement
last
summer
to
ask
those
who
banged
pots
for
our
health
care
workers
at
7
pm
to
sign
a
petition
at
701
to
support
fair
and
equal
pay
for
all
health
care
workers.
It
was
the
first
financial
institution
to
offer
an
interest-free
emergency
line
of
credit
to
laid
off
workers
months
before
the
federal
pandemic
stimulus
packages
were
initiated.
