SITE READY-Construction Safety Training Course

SITEREADYBC PROGRAM

This is a brand-new introductory construction safety training course created by the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA).

The program will focus on BC safety regulations but is being built so it can be adapted for use across Canada. This online training program replaces the popular Construction Safety Training System (CSTS-09) we previously offered, which close to 75,000 BC construction workers have completed.

For many BC employers, a SiteReadyBC certificate will become mandatory for all new employees upon first entering a construction site. Successful students will receive certificates to both the SiteReadyBC program and WHMIS-2015.

Contact BCCSA’s Trina Dumbeck at 604-636-3681 or by email at tdumbeck@bccsa.ca for more information.

OCEAN WISE'S OCEAN BRIDGE PROGRAM- Applications are now available

Applications now open for Ocean Bridge 2022

Calling all youth aged 18-to-30! Ocean Wise has launched its Canada-wide search for the next wave of 170 youth and young professionals to join the Ocean Bridge leadership and ocean service program. Applications are now open at bridge.ocean.org until March 11, 2022.

This year, you get to decide what program suits you best, whether that’s Ocean Bridge Classic or Direct Action.

Ocean Bridge Classic is a 6-month part-time program (May – October 2022) bringing together Canadian youth and permanent residents from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Participants connect virtually to form a national team engaged in co-creating and delivering ocean and waterway service projects in their home communities. Youth experience ocean literacy distance learning, individualized coaching from Ocean Wise mentors, and funding to deliver local service projects of their own design.

Book-ended by two expenses-paid immersive regional Learning Journeys, ambassadors have the opportunity to learn and explore in one of the following awe-inspiring regions of Canada: Pacific Coast, Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River, and Atlantic Coast.

Ocean Bridge Direct Action is a full-time 3-month immersive placement program, taking place between May – October 2022. Placements may be virtual, field, or lab-based in rural or urban coastal, marine, and watershed environments, and youth must complete 360 hours of service work. Direct Action provides 30 Canadians and permanent residents aged 18-30 the opportunity to be immersed in impactful marine and aquatic conservation projects while mentored and coached by top research professionals. Direct Action funds participant costs associated with travel, living expenses, training, and materials/gear for the duration of their 3-month placement.

The deadline for applications is March 11, 2022, and the program begins in May. Though the ocean may seem far away for many in our large country, we’re all connected to the ocean, whether that’s though food, water, or clean energy.

No prior experience is required and there are no financial costs for the youth. Further supports to facilitate participation and accessibility in the program can be made available. 

Ocean Bridge is made possible by the Government of Canada’s Canada Service Corps. Since Ocean Bridge started in 2018, more than 450 youth have contributed 138,394 hours of ocean-related community service and engagement in communities across Canada.
