For retirees, BC FORUM keeps the strength of the union movement on your side after you’ve left the workforce. For active workers, BC FORUM helps you plan for retirement – because leaving work should not mean leaving the movement.

In addition to organizing community forums and rallies on issues that matter to our members, we also produce The Advocate, a quarterly newsletter that helps our members stay informed on current issues and initiatives.

As a member of the BC FORUM, you will automatically be covered by our $2,500 Group Accident Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance Plan. Spousal coverage is also available at an additional $5/year.

Plus, as a member, you will have access to purchasing Health/Dental Benefits provided through WE Consulting & Benefit Services Ltd., updated in the summer 2024 issue of The Advocate.

Annual dues for membership are $20 (three year memberships are available for $49)

We recommend you check with your union as some affiliates will pay your first year membership dues (current December, 2019: BCGEU, BCFMWU, HSA, MoveUp, CEU, CUPE Locals 386, 402 and 7000, UFCW 1518, Heat & Frost, and LIUNA 1611).

You can complete our online form and pay your dues via PayPal. PayPal is an easy-to-use online payment system that protects your confidential credit card information.

If you prefer, you can also print, complete, and mail in a paper form and pay by cheque. Cheques should be made payable to BC FORUM and sent to:
