To Our Frontline Workers

To our frontline workers:

Thank you for being on the front lines. You are helping protect the health and safety of the essential workforce across Canada, including our truck drivers, oil and gas workers, workers in rail, utilities, construction, and more. These essential workers are the reason we have food to eat, gas for our cars, electricity, and so on. Thank you for taking care of them.

We are so thankful to you all, for your dedication, the great sacrifices you’re making, and for the kindness and empathy, you manage to keep bringing to this unprecedented situation. 

We will continue to stand with you,

Your DC Family

Our Commitment | Day of Mourning 2020

Today, April 28, 2020 we remember and honour those that died, were injured or made ill, due to a workplace tragedy.

Now more than ever, it's important that we pause, reflect, and collectively renew our commitment to health and safety in the workplace.

Right now, that includes staying home to keep front line workers safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Together, we can build a healthier and safer world.
