History
The Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners organized a local chapter in Vancouver in 1889. After a two-month strike in 1889, some of the chapter's members split from the union, eventually forming a group that in 1890 became Local 617 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
