 Charlottetown, May 13, 2026 – The Workers Compensation Board (WCB) has partnered with Rural Action Centres and CBDC to offer in-person occupational health and safety (OHS) workshops across PEI. The workshops, which are free to attend and cover a wide range of OHS topics, are being held at Rural Action Centre and CBDC locations in Montague, Summerside and Alberton. 

“We are pleased to partner with the WCB to offer this training,” said Maxine Rennie, Executive Director of Alberton Rural Action Centre and CBDC West Prince Ventures. “We work to connect businesses, service providers and community stakeholders to build vibrant and prosperous rural communities. Providing access to this training will build healthier and safer workplaces in rural communities across PEI.” 

Danny Miller, the WCB’s Director of OHS says that access to training strengthens workplace safety culture across the Island. “Safety is a shared responsibility, and training provides clarity on everyone’s roles and responsibilities in workplace safety. Through the partnership with RAC, we’re making it easier for employers and workers in rural PEI to access the training they need to stay safe at work.”
