An exciting program has been developed for the ILA's Annual Conference and Trade Show this year, featuring a variety of informative seminars and fun social events.
The event theme, Associations Working Together, is at the root of our strength as an industry. "Working together," says ILA Chairman Reid Hedlund, "we have one solid voice. When we sit down with government at any level this is critical. It's that simple."

This year ILA member companies can submit your safety audits in person to BC Forest Safety Council safety advisors onsite at the ILA's conference.

"The biggest benefit is having the opportunity to sit down face to face with a safety advisor and have your audit reviewed in person. You get to ask questions and receive sound advice and support to take back to work immediately," says Safety Advisor Lisa Reichel.

Over 2,600 companies submit annual safety audits to the BC Forest Safety Council to meet obligations under their SAFE Company certification and to meet requirements for WorkSafeBC's Certificate of Recognition program to receive an incentive cheque.

Interested? To book an audit appointment at the ILA conference on May 8-10, please call the BC Forest Safety Council's Audit Administrator, Clare Craig at 250-739-5172. If you have any questions about your audit or requirements, please contact the Council toll free at 1-877-741-1060 or Send them an email

We are sad to report that our CILA colleague MaryAnne Arcand is in hospice in Prince George. She has asked that we all continue to work very hard on worker health, understanding personally the effect of longer term health issues. In MaryAnne's words, "Worker health is a key part of being able to work safely."
