About Colin Cheng
Colin Cheng (he/him) is passionate about human rights and has been an active advocate with PSAC and CIU Local 20040 for nine years. Throughout these years, Colin has held several leadership roles including CIU 20040 Human Rights Representative; PSAC BC Mainland Human Rights Committee Co-Chair and Treasurer; FB Bargaining Group Team Member; PSAC BC 1st Alternate Racialized Members Coordinator; and PSAC BC Metro Vancouver Coordinator. His activism continues to grow and was officially honoured in 2025 when he received the PSAC BC Emerging Activist Award.
Colin first got involved with the union after attending a PSAC Duty to Accommodate course in 2017 where he gained knowledge and tools to help members navigate the challenges and key issues related to their accommodations. After the course, Colin mobilized this knowledge at his worksite and began advocating for members’ human rights for accommodations. Colin continues to advocate for accommodations and has pursued further PSAC educational courses to protect workers against discrimination as well as improve areas of health and safety.
In his role as a Border Services Officer, Colin keeps Canada’s borders safe, and has been doing so for 17 years. As imported goods enter the country, Colin conducts inspections to ensure weapons and narcotics are intercepted to protect the public.
Outside of union and work life, Colin can be found fishing, playing street hockey, or riding motorcycles.
