All aboard!

The event is hosted in recognition of the fact that almost 250,000 Canadians are injured, some fatally, at work.

Hosted by the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE) and its national partners, Victoria’s iteration of National Safety Week is kicking off with some compelling stories, an award ceremony, a Victoria Fire Department Honour Guard Flagger’s Parade, and a live demo by the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue.
