Yellowknife, Northwest Territories - Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor)
Access to health and safety training helps protect workers and strengthens communities across the North. Investing in high-quality training supports safe, reliable workplaces in a variety of sectors.
Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a contribution of up to $600,000 to the Northern Safety Association to bring 30 courses online, improving accessibility, relevance and learner experience for workers across the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The new virtual offerings will address key health and safety topics across a range of workplaces from task-specific training like working around heavy equipment to general well-being training like mental wellness.
Health and safety training helps protect workers and reduces the risk of costly workplace accidents. By supporting projects like this, CanNor is investing in worker well-being while helping businesses in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut operate safely and efficiently.
