Employees at the Comox Valley Sports Centre and Comox Valley Aquatic Centre will not be going on strike.
The Comox Valley Regional District announced a tentative collective agreement has been reached with United Steelworkers Local 1-1937, which represents employees at both facilities.
Acting chief administrative officer Jake Martens said the regional district is pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with the union.
“We are pleased with the results and feel that this agreement reflects the valued contributions of our employees, and we look forward to continuing work with USW to provide accessible and inclusive recreation services to the region.”
Negotiations began Feb. 11 to renew the collective agreement, which expired Jan. 31.
Last week, the CVRD announced the union had issued a 72-hour strike notice following a strike vote held in May.
Further details about the agreement will be released after the ratification process is completed.
