Life & work after work injury – register now for the June 8 Bancroft Institute session

June 5, 2021

The first 2021 Bancroft Institute session will take place (online) Tuesday June 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. Bancroft Institute logo

The injured worker community has long sought further study of the experiences of permanently injured workers after they are no longer active with the WCB. Although most recover fully and get back to work, in Ontario about 15,000 injured workers every year are recognized as having a permanent impairment. Two recent studies (from Washington State and Ontario) look at what happens to injured workers with permanent injuries after their case is closed.

There is no charge for the event but registration is required. Please register at https://tinyurl.com/bancroftevent
