Ontario Chamber of Commerce: Implementing the Standard: Mental Wellness in the Workplace Webinar

Posted on

Every year, one in five Canadians will suffer from a mental health problem or illness. That’s about 7 million of us. Despite how common it is, mental illness continues to be met with widespread stigma.
With more than 500,000 Canadians missing work each week due to a mental health problem or illness, and costing the economy more than 51 billion dollars per year, no workplace is immune from these risks and we cannot afford to limit our definition of occupational health and safety to only the physical.

Business plays a key role in fostering a positive work environment that emphasizes the importance of work-life balance.

We have partnered with the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) to engage the chamber network in a public awareness campaign to educate employers on the importance of mentally healthy workplaces and to encourage them to adopt the National Standards for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.

As part of this campaign, we will initiate 338 Conversations on Mental Health in the Workplace. 338 Conversations will launch in late October on Parliament Hill where all MPs will be provided with toolkits for engaging their local chambers and their member businesses in conversations on the issue.

On July 18, at 1:30 p.m. EDT, we, in collaboration with the MHCC, are holding a webinar for our chamber members to brief you on the importance of mentally healthy workplaces and to encourage your support and participation in our initiatives.

Presenters include:
• Jackie King, Chief Operating Office, Canadian Chamber of Commerce
• Sapna Mahajan, Director, Mental Health Prevention and Promotion – Workplace Initiatives, Mental Health Commission of Canada

East Central Ontario Training Board (ECOTB): 21 Year Anniversary Open House Celebration!

Posted on

In 1997, many of the Local Boards were formed through a partnership with Ontario Training and Adjustment Board (OTAB), Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC), Canadian Labour Force Development Board (CLFDB) and the Ministry of Education and Training (MET). On January 22, 1997, the East Central Ontario Training Board (ECTOB) was formally incorporated with the goal to help enhance the development of the local workforce. Today we are one of 26 Boards across the Province that are at the centre of tackling local workforce issues.

As we move into our 21st year of operation, the Board wants to share with the community the great work we have done over the past 20 years. We invite you to join us as we reminisce about our work in the local communities.

BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE!
That can’t be all there is right?
Of course not!! We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and will be recognizing our current Board members for their dedication and time…..

BUT WAIT….THERE’S MORE AGAIN!
How about we recognize some of our community partners from over the years? By presenting four recognition awards to our partners, one in each of the following categories: Community Organization, Non-profit/Association, General Partnership and Business Partner. The organizations that have been selected have helped provide direction to youth, job seekers and employers in our community and their input has been invaluable!

WASN’T THERE SOMETHING ABOUT A SECRET?
Yes, our Board has been keeping a secret and working on something special that we are excited to share with you. Guess you will just have to be there to find out!
So please join us for a drink, some tasty hors d’oeuvres, some fun networking and an evening of looking back, looking forward. Room is limited so register soon!

We are pleased to have Dug Stevenson, Executive Director of the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board as your M/C for the evening.

Agenda
5:00 – 6:00 Networking, Stories and Board Recognition
