The District of Tofino (the “District”) and CUPE 118 participated in mediation sessions over the past two days. The sessions were facilitated by a mediator who was appointed by the Labour Relations Board of British Columbia.

The agreement requires ratification by the union’s members and the employer, both of which are scheduled to occur in July.

The District remains focused on supporting the health and safety of residents and staff, including continuing to provide safe and reliable services to the residents of Tofino and visitors.

“We would like to thank everyone who was involved in successfully concluding negotiations to reach this agreement,” says Attiana.
