For his contributions to the labour movement and for his voluntary service to senior citizens.
Arthur Kube has devoted a lifetime to supporting workers and the disadvantaged. A steel fabricator who rose through the ranks of the labour movement, he helped found Canada’s first co-operative housing federation. Over the course of 25 years with the Canadian Labour Congress, he played a pivotal role in its struggle to make our country more progressive and equitable. Respected for his humility and integrity, he was elected president of the BC Federation of Labour, led the United Way of Greater Vancouver and, in his retirement, served as president of British Columbia’s Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations.
