We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating Elizabeth's 65th birthday yesterday! 🥳 We played her favourite games and ate some yummy sugar-free snacks made from our ICAN crew!

April 28 is National Day of Mourning.

This day honours workers who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill due to work-related incidents. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by workers and encourages a focus on accident prevention and safer work environments.

“Behind every workplace tragedy is a community of family, friends, and coworkers. The suffering caused by each work-related tragedy extends far beyond the worker.”
- Anne Tennier, President and Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS)

Earth Day in Action at ICAN! 🌎💚

Our staff and clients spent the afternoon together for a meaningful Earth Day clean-up! With teamwork and smiles, we collected litter and freshened up our surroundings. It really shows that every small action adds up to something bigger. 🌱

It was inspiring to see everyone pitch in, support one another, and take pride in caring for the environment we all share. Thank you to everyone who participated; you helped make our space cleaner and even more welcoming!
