Minerva Canada health and safety conference at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology

Oshawa, ON - University and college heads, business leaders and government officials will attend a forum here at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology on November 13 to discuss the role of post-secondary institutions, government and industry on health and safety in Canada.

Minerva Canada, organizer of the event, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to incorporating the concepts and principles of occupational health and safety into the curriculum of post-secondary schools, especially business and engineering. The organization expects graduates to run their company's health and safety program as they would any other business process.
