Hilton Garden Inn East Village, Calgary, AB
Deadline for REGISTRATIONS is September 29, 2023 – 4:00pm MDT
OBJECTIVES: We will cover a wide variety of current and relevant topics in an interactive manner to provide and gather that will resonate with, inspire and motivate participants.
We will strengthen the capacity of workplace health and safety activists through the review and discussion on concepts involving; empowering committees, the duty to accommodate, the long term disability claims process, among others. Along with this, topics to be covered will be generated through responses and recommendations to come from this application process. This will be accomplished through a focus on supporting all of those with an active role in advocating for the health and safety of our members.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The Conference is primarily designed to provide assistance and resources to PSAC members who are active in Workplace Health and Safety. Priority will be given to those that illustrate their activism in resolving workplace issues and are in a position to apply what they have gathered from the conference and share with others. The conference is not strictly limited to those holding a formal position; however that will form part of the criteria for selection. Please note that this Conference is not designed to function as the basic training tool on Health and Safety Rights and Responsibilities. Rather we will be expanding the knowledge range and confidence of those working in the field and already knowledgeable on the issues at hand. There are a limited number of spots available and therefore selection will be based on this criterion.
The conference will begin on Friday, December 1 and end on Sunday, December 3. Participants will be expected to attend the full duration of the conference. Should a selected participant no longer be able to attend the full conference, another participant may be selected by the selection committee. AGENDA: Details will be finalized, based in part on participant needs.
