Hi all,
Now that we’re members of the BC College Pension Plan, I assume they’ve been following those of us who are on Twitter. They followed me from their account (@BCCollegePlan) last week. I happened to notice the ‘banner’ of pictures on their account
(see it here). It shows 3 white people (as far as I can tell).
I replied to them saying: “@BCCollegePlan, a question in the spirit of collegial critique: Are all your members white? Your banner would suggest so. Maybe something to think about …"
They replied by direct message today saying they are open to all members to be models for promotional materials but need people who have given them permission. They’re doing more photos now and will update their Twitter banner.
They asked me to pass this on to members (not just those on Twitter) who may be interested in having their photo used. So that’s what I’m doing. If interested,
email memberphotos@pensionsbc.ca.
Best,
Eugene
