Thank You to all who visited the EMC Canada booth at the recent 30th annual WorksafeNB Conference. The aim of the conference was to educate and report on current health and safety issues and trends, and to improve workplace health and safety practices. It was impressive to see the number of folks attending who, obviously, view Health and Safety in their workplaces as a priority.

Summer efforts have been geared towards determining the needs and interest for our fall networking opportunities.We are very pleased to say that the schedule has come together well and we certainly would encourage and welcome your participation in events of your choice.
As usual, some communities are seeing higher activity than others but we will continue to strive to create events in every community that are relevant to the issues in your facilities and valuable to you as an individual in your role. It goes without saying that your feedback and input, as well as participation, are so key to success.
Here are the details of upcoming event for the month of September. Thank you to our hosts as well as the guests speakers in some ares where subject matter…
Through the delightful process of member visits, one of the top discussions has involved the need for training. In the past, public events have not had the response for all to run as planned and that has created disappointment to those whose intent was to participate. In an effort to provide successful training events Glenn and I, along with Todd Oliver in our training centre, have worked hard to provide a schedule of training for this fall that represents the needs.
Please keep in mind that these are separate from the regular networking events happening in the communities.
We realize that most of you are still savoring summer, but now is a good time to think about your training plans for the fall and, yes, even beyond! The chart below includes all the information on what is available, when and the costs associated. Also, you may click on the link associated with the event title to find out more about that program and the facilitator.
