Women move our coast 💪

On May 18, we mark International Day for Women in Maritime to recognize the women shaping the future of the marine industry.

This year’s theme is From Policy to Practice, a call to build an industry where women are supported, respected and given opportunities to lead.

Women in our union stand watch on bridges, work in engine rooms, load vehicles, maintain and repair vessels, serve passengers as cashiers and ticket agents, deliver catering and hospitality services, keep terminals and operations moving, power administrative and office operations, lead crews, and help connect communities every single day.

To every woman in our union, our industry is stronger because you’re in it.

Thank you for the professionalism and leadership you bring to our coast. ⚓💙

In solidarity, 

BCFMWU Women’s Committee
