Who We Are

The North Coast and Haida Gwaii Labour Council provides a common voice for over 1,000 union members in the North Coast Regional District.

Our work is conducted in Ts’msyen and Haida territories – in solidarity with the peoples of the Ts’msyen, Haida, Nisga’a, Haisla, Gitxsan, Heiltsuk, Wet’suwet’en, Tlingit, and other First Nations.

Delegates from local union affiliates serve on the North Coast and Haida Gwaii Labour Council and work together for the benefit of all communities in the North Coast Regional District.

We are also the local organization of the Canadian Labour Congress, which represents 3.2 million unionized workers across Canada.
