Welcome to CUPE 459

We are the Sooke School District 62 Support Staff CUPE Local 459.

We are the Education Assistants, Indigenous Workers, Strong Start and Early Childhood Educators in the classroom, Clerical, Payroll & Finance, Library Technicians, Bus Drivers, Custodians, Trades, Grounds, Information Technology, Crossing Guards, Communication and Student Engagement Facilitators.

We provide a safe, clean and desirable place to work and learn.

CUPE Local 459 is proud to have this website up and running to support you and keep everyone informed with any changes that may arise.

This page will also connect you with contacts to the Executive and your departmental Shop Stewards as well as committee representatives.

Our workers support every part of student life.  We make sure our children get to school safely.  We make sure they have a first-rate learning environment when they’re there.  And we support their education at every stage.

We’re facing tough times together, and that’s when we need affordable, reliable public services the most.
