WSCC offers stakeholders the opportunity to participate and provide feedback in all areas of WSCC services, including policy creation, decision-making, and program development. We understand the importance of reaching out for a fresh perspective, and to listen to what YOU need. As a user of our resources and services, you have a meaningful perspective on the improvement of those services.
There are several ways that you can get involved:
The WSCC is responsible for administering the Workers Compensation Acts, Safety Acts, Explosives Use Acts and the Mine Health and Safety Acts. Governance Council policies provide guidance for the administration of the Acts.
Openness is one of our values and we strive to be clear and transparent in everything we do. All our plans and performance reports are available to stakeholders.
We strive to be accessible, clear, and transparent in everything we do, reflecting our value of Openness.
The WSCC is overseen by a seven-person Governance Council. The Governance Council is responsible for the conduct of business and management while maintaining the credibility and vitality of the WSCC. The Governance is comprised of individuals from Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, and represents the interests of workers, employers, and the general public. The members are appointed by the Northwest Territories Ministers responsible for the WSCC in consultation with the Nunavut Minister.
Eliminate workplace diseases and injuries.
We promote workplace health and safety while providing no-fault insurance to employers and care for injured workers.
Over one hundred years ago, Sir William Meredith tabled a report in the Ontario Legislature, establishing what would become known as the Meredith Principles. Like all workers compensation systems in Canada, the Meredith Principles are the foundation of the WSCC.
The Meredith Principles are a historic compromise in which employers fund the compensation system and share the liability for injured workers. In return, injured workers receive benefits while they recover, and cannot sue their employers.
