Cameron Eby

Submitted September 12, 2025

Hello Convention 2025 Delegates and Members! I’m Cameron Eby, and I am asking for your support in my re-election as one of your Benefit Trustees. Since 2019, I have served as a Trustee for our Supplemental Pension Plan and have previously held various roles within APBC, including Lead Negotiator, Regional Vice President, Recording Secretary, Treasurer, and Provincial President. Recently, I completed my trustee education program and earned the credential of Master of Trust Management Standards from the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans. Our Supplemental Pension Plan continues to grow and deliver strong returns. As part of your Trustee team, I have advocated for a progressive approach to diversification and asset allocation. We have expanded our investments beyond traditional bonds and equities to include real estate, infrastructure, and, most recently, agriculture. This diversification strategy has yielded excellent returns, even during periods of stock market downturns. This translates into more pension benefits for members in retirement. I hope to earn your support for my re-election so that I can continue to apply my education and experience to the oversight of our pension plan. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email at cameron.eby@icloud.com. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello! I am grateful for the opportunity to be nominated for convention committee. I\'ve served several conventions as a delegate to region 3 and have always had a keen interest in learning more and doing more. In my personal life I\'m a mom to three, and as they spread their wings of independence I\'m hopeful to take on more. This position speaks to me for several reasons, I love organizing chaos, getting to collaborate with a group and working toward a common goal. In my work life I'm a Ft PCP and SS at station 307, having spent the last 10 years working around the region. If we haven't met yet feel free to introduce yourself I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hey Everyone, I'm Sasha, I work at 684 in Prince Rupert. I've been with the service now for almost 18 years. I started coming to convention about 14 years ago as a delegate and fell in love with the process and the ability to have a say in how our union shaped itself and the path it would take for the year ahead. It's also an amazing opportunity to meet people you would otherwise never get a chance to. About 6 years ago, I had the chance to help out the convention committee when they were short handed, and loved being part of that team. I was elected to my first term on the committee properly shortly there after. Over the years we have worked to streamline our processes and make it easier to bring our delegates and guests a smooth and enjoyable experience every year. It has been an absolute pleasure the last couple of years to work closely with Anne-Marie and Sat at the Office and  Keith and Lorraine and Sherry putting all the pieces together to make a memorable convention. It's not a glamourous job, but I absolutely love doing it and I hope that you will give me the chance to continue doing this work into the future by electing me again to the convention committee this year. Thank you! Sasha Beer

Camille McCluskey Off-Car Unit Chief, Kelowna | 13 Years of Service

I’m running for the Negotiations Committee because I believe in advocating for our members with equal parts passion and practicality. Over the past 13 years, I’ve seen our service from nearly every angle, starting as a casual paramedic working across rural BC, moving into full-time positions in urban and metro areas, then stepping into leadership as a Unit Chief in Nakusp, and now serving as an off-car Unit Chief in Kelowna. That range of experience from small rural postings to large metro operations has given me a well-rounded understanding of our service and the challenges faced across classifications.

In my current role as Women’s Advocacy Director, I’ve developed a deep understanding of our union’s needs and the issues our members face day to day. Through that work, I’ve had countless conversations with members, collaborated with leaders, and taken numerous CUPE education courses focused on leadership, conflict resolution, and member advocacy. I also plan to continue my education in bargaining and negotiation, ensuring I can bring both experience and evolving skill to the table.

What I bring to negotiations is not just advocacy, but balance, strategy, and composure under pressure. I’m someone who listens first, communicates clearly, and builds trust. I understand that strong outcomes come from thoughtful preparation, collaboration, and standing firm when it matters most.

While my portfolio focuses on women’s advocacy, my commitment is to represent and advocate for everyone. Frontline, supervisory, dispatch, and support roles alike. I’m invested in making our workplaces better, safer, and more sustainable for all of us.

I look forward to continuing to learn from our leadership and membership, contributing a grounded, member-focused voice to the team, and ensuring we approach negotiations with both strength and understanding.

Chris McWilliam

Submitted September 29, 2025

My name is Chris McWilliam, and I am seeking your support as a candidate for the Negotiating Committee.

I’ve had the privilege of serving on the committee for the past eight months, having been selected to complete the remainder of the previous term. I’m currently working in this role—and as I write this, we are actively at the bargaining table with the employer, advocating for improvements to our Collective Agreement and working conditions for all Paramedics across the province.

Continuity on this committee is crucial. Maintaining momentum in our negotiations allows us to build on our progress and push for meaningful change. I’m asking for your support so I can continue this important work for the full four-year term.

At Station 684, I also serve as Shop Steward, and I bring to the table extensive experience in union environments, particularly at the federal level. I firmly believe in the power of a strong, member-focused union and the need for well-structured, carefully negotiated Collective Agreements. Serving on this committee gives me the opportunity to make real, tangible contributions that directly benefit our members.

I am committed to strengthening our Union and advancing the rights and conditions of all Paramedics. I hope I can count on your support in the upcoming election.
