* Alex: despite this disruption, we did flourish this summer at the downtown shop post-move, a growing sense of optimism. There is one shop, but with the off-site storage there is actually a larger and more complicated physical operation than ever before. Losing the south shop was hard, but there have been silver linings: easier to share work and become more efficient, etc. Hoping to make the shop even more useful to the community. Volunteer Appreciation party will be Friday November 27 downtown. | * Alex: despite this disruption, we did flourish this summer at the downtown shop post-move, a growing sense of optimism.

*Can you explain our involvement with a union? Keith - there was a unionization drive ~1.5yrs ago and CUPE accepted. A labour board hearing determined that all our staff were in scope except the ED who isn't here anymore. So we're working towards a collective agreement. CUPE provides a negotiator to the staff, and we have a negotiator on contract who has experience with non-profits who charges us very fairly. | *Can you explain our involvement with a union?

*Do we know how we're doing on volunteer hours compared to last year? Reason for asking being that if bike building is more on volunteers. Answer - we have a number of 4200 volunteer hours logged. By the way, the bike building night that Jan runs is the most under-rated thing we do! Our budget does account for lower bike sales to offset the decrease in paid bike building. | *Do we know how we're doing on volunteer hours compared to last year?
