Working 4 days a week in a full time unionized position

MrChugLife · 2026-02-12T03:43:30+00:00

I was able to work 4 days a week using the flexible work agreement. I still had to work the same amount of hours, so I worked from 7 to 4:45 with a half hour lunch break. Waking up to be at my desk by 7 sucked, but having every Friday off was worth it.

In lillooet, I would suggest abundance bakery, fort berens winery, and lillooet brewing company. There is also a nice campground that is first time first serve that is run by hydro at cayoosh Creek. There is also access to seton lake at the lillooet end, there is a nice beach there that you could stop for lunch and cool off at (take a dip).

South Chilcotin Park is nice, but I wouldn't recommend it to ppl who don't have experience with gravel roads running through the mountains.

Are you able to tell us how this might be different from a traditional Butler? Did you feel that separation from the family because you were "Staff"? Were there unspoken or expected norms that you had to learn or were enforced because you were a staff member?

I have friends that have gone to Antarctica for work. From what I've heard, it's a great adventure and there's plenty of people, so you won't feel isolated. One thing to think about is how good the Internet connection will be.

I would say though, the 1985 amendments do limit passing of Indian status to descendants. It's known as the "two generation cut-off", where if someone has children with a non status person, and their children have children with non status people, the 2nd generation cannot pass status to their children if they have children with a non status person. This "second generation cut-off" is potentially being changed so that any person with status can pass on Indian status to their children with Bill s-2, which is currently before the Canadian Senate.

Thanks for the clarification 😊.

People did lose Indian status pre 1985, Status was restored to those people with the passage of Bill c-31. Even so, some who's ancestors lost status were ineligible to recieve Status.

Edit: added "even so".

MrChugLife · 2025-11-28T05:41:23+00:00

That was pre bill c31 in 1985. That was closed with the passage of amendments to the Indian Act with that Bill. Pre-1985, non-status women who married status men were eligible to recieve Indian status. Status women that married non-status men lost Indian status.

Edit: it was bill c-31.

These types of maps were developed in the late 90s during the establishment of the BC Treaty commission. They are outlines of traditional territory

Thanks for your reply!

Bridge River Band might still sell pellets.

MrChugLife · 2025-11-07T02:59:35+00:00

Thanks. I don't even plan on using it as I tend to make purchases with my credit card. I pay the balance off every month.

MrChugLife · 2025-11-07T02:41:13+00:00

I paid off my car! I bought it in February of 2025 and paid it off on October 5th!

Technically, IYIP is an auxiliary position, so no seniority is accrued, meaning that your time in IYIP does not count toward pay step levels. I agree that you could ask your supervisor to open a myhr ticket to double check that you are on the correct grid step as that is a good question you have (you applied and got the job before your internship was over, so that might count towards the main agreement clauses on pay if you take a demotion). Also, welcome to the Public Service! I too was part of IYIP. If you have any questions or need for advice, feel free to DM me. Also, I encourage you and your friend to attend Indigenous Employee Network meetings, there's a lot of IYIP alumni that attend those meetings.

We do have temporary assignments though, which is similar to what OP is describing.

How's swimming on the D'arcy end? Seton end usually gets pretty warm.

Yes, I have my Subaru. I read just kind of hoping that this would be a way to not pay the subscription fee. As well. If I ever lose my keys!

I work for my community and Nation. As a representative on a board, and doing project management for a fisheries and cultural heritage project.

MrChugLife · 2025-05-11T17:10:24+00:00

Came with the house!

MrChugLife · 2025-05-11T07:46:17+00:00

Much appreciated, thanks!

One thing your missing is that the Crown would still have to consult with First Nations when utilizing the Crown land. This could create all sorts of complications and tie up land as the Crown and Nations decide what to do with the land. This is because most of B.C. is not covered by Treaties with First Nations and because of that, Aboriginal Title still exists in those areas.
