Coralie Gregoire
Director
Coralie Gregoire, a member of Component 7, was elected BCGEU Executive Vice-President at the 2024 Constitutional Convention – the first to mandate an Indigenous EVP. With almost 20 years of union activism experience, Coralie has held roles including steward and Occupational Health and Safety rep at Legal Aid BC, and various positions in Local 703 and Component 7.
Coralie was originally motivated to get more involved after witnessing workplace bullying and today is dedicated to recruiting and training shop stewards and advocating for living wages. Her notable projects include contributing to the BCGEU’s submission to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls National Inquiry and helping establish the BCGEU’s Indigenous Advisory Council. Coralie is active in the BC Native Women’s Association and the New Westminster & District Labour Council.
She enjoys playing and coaching fastball and learning her Indigenous language, Nsyilxcen. She is a proud member of the Okanagan Indian Band.
