CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. – The Governance Summit, a gathering of representatives from provincial and territorial workers’ compensation boards from across Canada, took place from June 23 to 26 in Charlottetown. Organized by the Association of Workers Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC), the annual conference is intended to allow the boards to discuss best practices and ways to improve workers’ comp systems. The theme for the 2015 Governance Summit was People, Purpose & Passion: The Pathway to Success, according to information from the Workers Compensation Board of P.E.I. (WCB). Among the events at the summit was a presentation by two-time Olympic gold medalist Heather Moyse, as well as sessions and panels on risk management, mental health, occupational disease and lessons from the 2012 sawmill explosions in British Columbia, a WCB press release said. “Meetings such as this help us to better anticipate and respond to the changing needs of employers and workers,” AWCBC president Dave Grundy said in a press statement on June 25. “Our discussions over these past few days have focused on critical issues that cross all of our jurisdictions.” A nonprofit organization representing all of Canada’s workers’ comp systems, AWCBC has been in operation since 1919.
