Get Flushed

BC Building Trades wins flush toilets for members

After years of advocacy and campaigning, the BC Building Trades has won flush toilets on large construction sites. Starting on October 1, 2024, all B.C. construction sites with 25 workers or more will be required to provide clean, flush toilets along with running water. This is a massive win for the health and safety of the people who build critical infrastructure in B.C. And we could not have done it without the support of our members, affiliates and supporters.

Through the Get Flushed campaign, we collectively sent thousands of letters to Premier David Eby and Labour Minister Harry Bains calling for this important change. Together, we can accomplish big things and this is just the latest example.
