With the ongoing wildfires affecting communities across British Columbia, we want to acknowledge that some of our own Brothers and Sisters have been directly impacted, including one member who has tragically lost his home and property.

Our thoughts are with all members and their families dealing with evacuations, uncertainty, and loss during this difficult time. Please take a moment to check in on your Brothers and Sisters who may be affected and offer support where you can. Times like these remind us what solidarity and looking out for one another are all about.

For anyone wishing to support our Brother John Poetsch and his family following the loss of their home, a link has been setup here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/boilermaker-john-poetsch-fire-relief
