FURTHER OUTREACH MPPIA Career Expo Actsafe attended the MPPIA Career Expo, where students attended sessions presented by motion picture industry insiders who shared their stories and career paths. The tradeshow floor was an opportunity for Actsafe to meet with students who were interested in working in the motion picture industry. Dancer Transition Resource Centre’s ‘on the MOVE’ Event Actsafe supported the Dancer Transition Resource Centre (DTRC) at their On the MOVE career planning and networking conference. Along with other arts service organizations, Actsafe was there to help young dancers make an inspired and informed transition into the dance profession. Day of Mourning - April 28th Every year workers, families, employers and communities come together for ceremonies held around the province to remember those who have lost their lives to work- related incidents or occupational disease. This day also represents a renewal of our commitment to creating healthy and safe workplaces. Actsafe attended the ceremony at Hastings Park followed by a march to the Workers’ Memorial Sanctuary. PEER SAFETY INSPECTION PROGRAM In 2018, Actsafe Safety Association launched its new Peer Safety Inspection Program, which pairs up venues and staff to perform real-time safety inspections of each other’s facilities. With guidance from an Actsafe industry advisor, Actsafe will tour the respective venues and discuss the safety issues uncovered in each facility. This non-binding inspection is a tool to develop stakeholder skills in hazard identification and safety solutions. Actsafe will help venues decipher the issues and guide them to available resources, as well as providing them with practical solutions to everyday hazards. 15
