Workers’ Remembrance at Burnaby Village Museum

by

CUPE 23 members, please join us on Friday, November 9, 2018 at Noon at the Memorial Fountain at the Burnaby Village Museum as we remember and honour those members of the Burnaby Civic Employees’ Union who served our country and gave their lives in the First World War. We will take the opportunity to recognize the service of all who came after them in other conflicts and missions around the world. We will gather and observe a minute of silence to acknowledge their sacrifices.

Two Burnaby elementary schools – Maywood and Douglas Road – will be provided with a full scale pumpkin patch, complete with popcorn, drinks, bubbles, music and fall decorations. We’re looking for volunteers to come out and join parents and community volunteers on Tues. October 30 (Maywood) and Weds. October 31 (Douglas Road).

Morning shift – 8am – 12pm – help with the set up of the pumpkin patch and then help to bag popcorn and hand out drinks to each class as they come out to see the pumpkin patch

Afternoon shift – 1:00 – 3:00pm – classes come out one at a time to pick a pumpkin to take home – help take down decorations, tents & tables
