Register now for Part 2 of the ALIGN Leadership Series!

Organizations today need leaders who demonstrate high standards of character, compassion, and personal accountability, and who make decisions based on enduring principles rather than the tyranny of short-term urgency. The world hungers for leaders who are authentic—people whose inner compass guides their daily actions and who inspire trust in the people around them by being honest and real. In the face of the unprecedented disruption that continues with us, an opportunity lies before us to open our hearts, discover our authentic leadership, and amplify our impact through a deeper presence.

For National Poison Prevention Week, the Injury Prevention Centre, the Poison and Drug Information Service, Alberta Health Services, and community partners from across Alberta are sharing messages encouraging Albertans to take action to prevent poisonings from disinfectants, hand sanitizers and household cleaners.

As Albertans take steps to protect their families and communities from COVID-19, they have increased their use of disinfectants, bleach, other household cleaners, and hand sanitizers. While these products are essential for cleaning and preventing the spread of the virus, when used incorrectly, they can cause unintentional poisoning and serious injuries. Learn more
