Further information could come forward that may affect the final grant payment to your municipality. Final payments are also subject to approval of program regulations and the 2015-16 provincial budget.

The legislation came in response to the horrific Westray coalmine explosion in Nova Scotia that killed 26 miners on May 9, 1992, and after a strong lobby campaign by the United Steelworkers to demand "No More Westrays". · The legislation was intended to hold corporate executives, directors and managers criminally responsible for workplace deaths. Ten years later, approximately 10,000 Canadians have been killed on the job, yet not one corporate executive has faced a single day In jail. In response to this shameful record, our union has launched a campaign to "Stop The Killing and Enforce The Law'', which asks provincial, territorial and federal governments to work together to ensure that workplace deaths ate taken seriously and that, where warranted, the Westray Law is · enforced. As part of this campaign, we are asking City Councils to pass resolutions expressing their support for proactive action to protect workers. Though not an area of municipal responsibility, we recognize you as community leaders and this is a community issue. There is no place in Canada that has not been touched by workplace deaths, and your voices are needed to encourage senior levels of government to take steps to enforce the Westray Law. Already communities across Canada have endorsed the enclosed resolution, including Toronto, Sudbury, St. Sault Marie, Hamilton in Ontario, Nanaimo, Burnaby, Lake Cowichan, New Westminster, Port Albern!, ·Mission in British Columbia, and Flin Flon in Manitoba. I respectfully request that your council consider adding Its voice by passing this resolution, and sending it to your provincial municipal association. In doing so, you will be sending a message to senior levels of government that it is time to work together to Stop the Killing, and Enforce the Law. We would be pleased to have a representative from our union make a presentation to your council to provide additional information. Please contact Health 8, Safety Coordinator Ron Corbeil at 604-683- 1117 [email protected] to schedule. ' · Thank you for your consideration.
