Burnaby

The CUPE BC 2024 Convention Resolutions Book names the CUPE BC Racialized Workers Committee as a sponsor of Resolution 40, which asks CUPE BC to publicly support and participate in the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign.

CUPE BC lists on its own site a resolution to publicly support and participate in the international BDS campaign and a resolution it submitted calling for an arms embargo on Israel, and its policy manual supports imposing sanctions on Israel. It also submitted a resolution to the CUPE national convention in 2025 citing an arms embargo on Israel.

City of Burnaby is listed as a signatory of the Apartheid-Free Communities pledge, which commits signers to "join others in working to end all support to Israel’s Apartheid regime, settler colonialism, and military occupation" (apartheid-free.org). Comox Valley for Palestine states on a candidate questionnaire page that the City of Burnaby has signed the Apartheid Free Communities Pledge. A Canadian Press report published on 2025-08-27 says Burnaby council passed a motion unanimously asking the federal government to impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel, and that the motion commits the city to signing an “apartheid-free” community pledge.

A BCGEU union resolution published on its International Solidarity page states "call for an end to Canada's arms sales to Israel", and the union reposted the April 2024 joint statement calling on Canada to suspend arms trade with Israel.

SFUFA's September 2024 bulletin states that two member motions passed in an electronic vote following its AGM, the first urging SFU administration "to suspend institutional partnerships with Israeli academic institutions, divest from Israeli commercial interests" and the second urging it "to divest from companies involved in arms production".

Faculty for Palestine at SFU states on its website that it "endorses the non-violent call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS)" and runs a campaign page asking faculty to pledge not to accept invitations from or partner with Israeli academic institutions.
