WorkCongress9 cancelled

The host organizations of WorkCongress9 — the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and the Institute for Work & Health — regret to announce the cancellation of the planned ninth international meeting of WorkCongress in Toronto next spring. Ongoing monitoring indicated that registration numbers were not going to reach needed targets. Both organizations remain committed to the vision of WorkCongress – to bring together policy-makers, practitioners and academics from around the world to discuss and debate optimal approaches to the prevention, management and fair compensation of work-related disability.
