Reah Arora has strong, deep roots in Burnaby. Growing up in Burnaby East’s Westridge neighbourhood where her family ran a small business for more than a decade, she saw first-hand what can happen when governments make deep cuts to services people count on. She devoted her energies to standing up for people and workers and making their lives better.
Reah became a trade unionist and a member of the United Steelworkers local 2009, eventually joining the BC Federation of Labour as the Director of Organizing. A champion for workers, she knows that families in Burnaby need a government that is on their side, taking on powerful interests to make life easier.
Reah is committed to fighting for liveable incomes and robust communities for working people. This means building affordable homes that people in Burnaby desperately need, investing in our publicly funded childcare, healthcare, and education systems, and tackling climate change.
