Description

The Association of Workers? Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC) was founded in 1919 as a non-profit organization. It was established to facilitate the exchange of information between Workers? Compensation Boards and Commissions at a time when workers? compensation law, policy and administration were in their infancy. There were six founding members: Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta, and New Brunswick. Saskatchewan joined in 1929, Quebec 1931, Prince Edward Island 1949, and Newfoundland 1950. Lastly, the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory joined in 1974. Membership has expanded to include two honorary members, and a number of associate members who are interested and focus on activities consistent with the AWCBC's vision which supports the common goal of safe workplaces and healthy workers. The AWCBC is governed by its Constitution. Funding for the AWCBC has historically come from membership dues. Currently, expenses for the operation of the national office and annual convention are prorated among the full members. Associate members pay a yearly fee. The business of the Association is managed by an Executive Committee, comprised of four Officers, namely: (a) President; (b) First Vice-President; (c) Second Vice-President; and (d) Past-President. The term for all officers is one year. In 1978, the first Executive Director was appointed on a part-time basis. This position became a full-time contractual position in 1987. ...
