Whether your in Trades or Non-Trades, CUPE728 wants to make sure that all of our Maintenance Workers know they are highly valued and appreciated. On the surface, maintenance work may seem like a behind the scenes kind of business. In reality, it is essential to the functioning of our schools. Maintenance workers ensure our entire community has access to safe and functioning schools. On the first Friday of March, we dedicate that day to all the Maintenance Workers in Surrey Schools. Without them, our schools would not function. Thank you!
World Plumbing Day recognizes the critical link between health and plumbing facilities. Indeed, the bathroom plays a significant role in maintaining our health all around the world. Everybody understands the role of sanitized, plumbing solutions to cut germs in their paths.
Just how many germs live in your bathroom is unclear, but it’s the place where you can find some of the most harmful bacteria, such as bacillus, gram-negative rods, cocci, and gram-positive rods. These different bacteria types are harmful to the human population and can cause a variety of health concerns such, skin infections and pneumonia. Some types are also resistant to antibiotics, which brings a completely new meaning to World Plumbing Day.
Indeed, good plumbing is not just a nice thing to have to keep your bathroom looking pretty. It’s the safest and quickest way to maintain and protect your health.

CUPE728 is constantly grateful for all our members and their commitment. On March 18, we want to highlight all our Utility Workers. They work around the clock to make sure our schools are run safely at all times.
The first Wednesday of April is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day. While we may not use the term ‘paraprofessional’, those CUPE728 members that fall under the Student Support Department would be considered Paraprofessionals.
Student Support members play important roles in schools and help make classrooms more inclusive. They add another layer of support to the classroom, allowing students to have more opportunities each day. When students, teachers, and families embrace paraprofessionals as key members of the education team, everyone benefits.
