Welcome to Season 5 Episode 9 of our BC's Path to Universal Child Care Podcast!

During this episode, we have reaired a previous conversation with Stephanie Smith, who has recently passed. As the first woman elected president of the BCGEU, an early childhood educator by training, and a lifelong advocate for workers, child care, and social justice, Stephanie's impact was profound and far-reaching. We extend our deepest condolences to Stephanie’s family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched through her leadership, advocacy, and friendship.
