Almost every day I go to work I hear a story about a CUPE member that has done something innovative or achieved something great. It is amazing the talent and diversity that exists in our group. Last week there was a story on the VIU website about how the husband of one of our cafeteria workers (Delia Ronkainen) who works at Nanaimo Sheet Metal, created and donated a custom smoker so that one of our CUPE cooks (Tyler Campbell) could compete in the Thrifty’s Food Nanaimo BBQ Festival.

Tyler and his team from VIU (VIU Seasoned Smokers) went on to win 1st Place in the Pork category as well as placing 10th overall.  In addition the smoker will be used in Food Services at VIU as well as in our culinary programs. This unique collaboration demonstrates the talent and generosity of CUPE members and it is something that we should be proud of. Well Done Guys!
