We’re relieved we’ve been able reach a tentative agreement so that families, newcomers, seniors, students and community members across the Fraser Valley can continue to access services without any interruption,” said Laurie Dyck, President of CUPE 1698.

“This has been a challenge chapter, but we can now look forward and focus on delivering the important library services communities count on.”
