MoveUP Job Steward Seminar Expression of Interest is now open
November 24, 2025
To: MoveUP Executive Board, Executive Council and Job Stewards
The Expression of Interest is now open for the 2026 Job Steward Seminar at Harrison Hot Springs Resort on March 5-8, 2026.
The seminar is open to stewards, councillors and board members who have completed both Job Steward Level 1 & 2 training or are currently registered to complete Levels 1 & 2 in January and or February.
As we are expecting a higher volume of registrations this seminar, please be aware that spaces are limited and will not be issued on a first-come-first-serve basis. Your education committee chairs will be responsible for selecting qualified stewards based on the answers you provide in the registration survey.
We will be looking at members who have shown dedication to the organization and labour movement as a whole, past MoveUP or other labour education, and how you will use the training and skills gained this seminar to connect, motivate, and activate in your workplaces.
To register please fill out the Expression of Interest from the link below, no later than 4:30 p.m. Friday, December 19, 2025. Please note you must be able to attend all four days of the seminar – no exceptions will be made. Those who are selected to attend will be notified by the education committee by January 7, 2026 with a registration link that needs to be completed by January 16, 2026.
MoveUP will arrange and cover the costs of single accommodation rooms, travel and leave time as per the MoveUP expense policy. If you have any questions about the expense or travel policies, please contact Secretary-Treasurer Brenda Chu. For those of you that will require transportation from the lower mainland, MoveUP has arranged a charter bus for pick-up and drop-off at the MoveUP office in Burnaby.
Participants are welcome to invite their partners and children, however, MoveUP will not be providing childcare at this seminar, and each evening there will be a short mandatory session. Should you have a guest(s) join us, you will be responsible for the cost of their meals and travel related expenses.
We are very excited for the job steward seminar and have worked hard to bring you top-notch speakers and new course materials. Click here to see new course descriptions.
