The following is a list of the wonderful speakers who presented and the topics they discussed at the meeting:
- Cheryl Edwards discussed liabilities of the safety professional under OH&S legislation;
- the Honorable Brad Duguid, Ontario Minister of Labour spoke about this view;
- Ontario WCB discussed the accreditation pilot project of the WSIB;
- a panel that spoke about safety professional competencies; the panel included Kirby James (The James Group), Theresa Wong Toose (Mapleleaf Foods) and me... just to mention a few.
It was great to have the Minister of Labour speaking at the event, he was a real draw. I hear that Theresa had the connections to bring him in – way to use them. It is all about partnerships and utilizing them strategically – oh, is that not the theme of this year’s PDC in Quebec city? Anyway…
The event was well planned – congrats to Lisa Tkaczuk for all her hard work as she primarily organized and managed this chapter initiative and the other chapter members who supported her initiative and did their part to make it a success. It was well attended – I am unsure of the final numbers but over 100 people attended for sure.
Congratulations to Toronto chapter for having a great professional development day that was informative and entertaining. I’d like to hear about your professional development day – do you have one? What do you have planned? When is it scheduled? Feel free to post your comments.
