Take a peek at the 2022 scholarship winners so far...

Our amazing volunteers were able to prepare close to 1000 floats fundraising over $2,000 at the June 4, Canadian baseball game!

We have another Root Beer Float day on Sunday, July 17, and we are looking for volunteers to help us from 11 am to about 2:30/3:00 pm (you get to stay and enjoy the game after we are done!)

The 40-day challenge culminated with a group of participants meeting at Red Truck Beer so celebrate over 6,000 km collectively. Prizes were awarded and we continue to receive donations.

We did it, one time around BC with kms to spare!

This could not have been accomplished without all participants and sponsors of the event.

In the next few newsletters we will share valuable information available on the go2HR website.

WHY HAVE WORKPLACE SAFETY PRACTICES?

By focusing on preventing and effectively managing workplace injuries, you can help keep your employees safe and healthy while saving your company time and money.

The tourism and hospitality industry may not be perceived as dangerous, but many workplace hazards can potentially lead to serious injuries.

When an employee is injured on the job, the direct insurance costs are only the tip of the iceberg. Injuries to employees such as cooks, ski patrollers and room attendants can cause personal suffering and will result in increased costs.

On average, for every $1 of direct costs of an accident, a company will spend an additional $4 in indirect costs, according to a WorkSafeBC report.

Every workplace is different, so it’s important for you to develop an Occupational health and Safety (OHS) program that addresses the specific needs of your operation.

You need to review your OHS program annually and include workers in the review process.
