What elements need to be in place to create an environment where you feel that you can be your true self?

Most of us understand the importance of being physically safe at work, but fewer people have had the opportunity to explore how a proactive approach and ongoing commitment to psychological health safety is a key component of healthy and inclusive workplace cultures.

Join our virtual workshop on Nov. 6 to learn about the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety and the 13 psychosocial factors in the workplace. Leave with practical, simple tips and tools that can be applied in the workplace immediately.

What if the health of your business started with the health of your people?

As workforce needs shift and employers face rising costs and mounting pressures, the question for business leaders isn’t just how our employees are doing - It’s how is our workforce’s health shaping the health of our business?

New research from Pacific Blue Cross brings these pieces together for the first time, offering a holistic look at business health across British Columbia and the Yukon.

Join us as we unpack the findings, explore what’s helping—and what’s holding back—organizations today, and discuss what it takes to create healthier, more resilient workplaces that support business growth.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Pierre Gratton to the GVBOT stage this afternoon for his final address as President & CEO of the Mining Association of Canada.

Reflecting on more than 25 years in the sector, Pierre shared how Canada's mining industry has transformed from one often viewed with skepticism into one that is now recognized by Canadians as a responsible, innovative, and essential contributor to the country's economic future.

“When I first took the job at MAC, I was a little embarrassed and didn't want all my friends to know what I was going to do,” he recalled. “I thought they'd judge me for going to work in the mining industry. Would they think I was joining an industry I should be ashamed of?”

That perception quickly changed.

“It didn't take me very long to fall in love with this industry,” he said. “I have found this industry to be down-to-earth, genuine, and deeply committed. We're incredibly pragmatic. We solve problems, we want to help our country, and we want to work with others to advance our industry. It has been a wonderful place to work for more than 25 years.”

Thank you, Pierre, for sharing your reflections and insights, and for your remarkable leadership in helping shape Canada's mining sector into one of the country's most respected and globally competitive industries. We wish you all the best in your next chapter.
