Once again, it's great to be Canadian! Just like I was bragging last week that World Day for Safety and Health at Work was started by Canada and then caught on with many other nations - so, too, is this week's NAOSH event a Canuck-born idea!

NAOSH stands for North American Occupational Safety and Health Week (May 4 - 10). This is the 11th year that the United States and Mexico have recognized the occasion; my country started Canadian Occupational Health and Safety Week way back in 1986.

I'm as excited as a schoolboy! Our fourth annual Our Youth at Work Simulcast is upon us, and it's (almost) as big as my ambition for the event! Executives from more than 60 major Ontario employers, such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Hydro One (they're sending six teams, including their president & CEO, Laura Formusa shown here), Weston Bakeries, Goodyear, Cineplex and many, many more - are standing up in front of thousands of high school students on April 18.
