Human Rights
The PSAC BC Region has three Human Rights Committees who meet regularly in-person and via conference call to discuss issues and plan events relating to PSAC's Indigenous, Access (PWD), 2SLGBTQIA+, and Racially Visible members.
The BC Region also has four Regional Council members who represent equity-seeking groups. They are responsible for PSAC members within their constituencies and speak for them at the Council, they seek to promote the activism of PSAC members within these constituencies, and they ensure and promote representation for their constituencies throughout our Union.

Budget 2022 delivers some progress on equity, but lacks funds to back it up
In last week’s budget, the Government of Canada offered important incremental progress on a handful of equity issues but fails to allocate resources to get real work done.
We need to aim higher and address inequities facing marginalized communities.
