On this day, we pause to honor the sacrifices made by those who served. As we reflect on their sacrifices, let us renew our commitment to the values of peace and unity, ensuring that their legacy is never forgotten. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #HonorAndRespect #Gratitude #NeverForget

We were honoured today to welcome Mr. Matthias Merfert, Labour and Social Affairs Counsellor, German Embassy in Ottawa. Mr. Merfert spent the day learning about the various academic and continuing education programs delivered by PCU-WHS as well as the many initiatives currently being undertaken by NIDMAR.

A no-cost pilot project from National Institute of Disability Management and Research (NIDMAR) is taking place in Vancouver, Nanaimo, Kelowna, and Prince George. The Reducing Poverty Initiative aims to fill in gaps left for employees who have become injured or ill outside of the workplace, supporting their return to their existing job when they are able to.

🧡 Yesterday, we recognized the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to reflect, learn, and remember the experiences of Indigenous Peoples. Even though the day has passed, we can continue to honor their stories and keep the conversation going throughout the year. #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay
