National locals

National locals are associated with an organization and all of its members, regardless of work location.

Locals enable members to mobilize and form a community. CAPE locals are the backbone of the union. They serve as a link between members in the workplace, the National Office and the National Executive Committee, and are mandated to defend members’ rights and interests through organization, advocacy, and consultation.   

Please note: While most locals have an identification number, some may not.

Join a local!

  • If you want to join a local, contact your local representative (see links above) or contact Julie Courty, Local Liaison Officer.
  • If there is no local in your region or department and you wish to create one, contact Julie Courty, Local Liaison Officer.
  • You can also become a steward, and this way you automatically become part of your local and play an active role in protecting and advancing the interests of all CAPE members.
