Managing COVID @Work

Online

Vaccinations are now widely available in Canada, but the COVID-19 pandemic continues. We’re now entering the “living with COVID” pandemic phase and, by necessity, the “working with COVID” phase. As the status quo seems likely to persist for the foreseeable future, employers must be prepared to manage COVID-19 as an ongoing workplace factor. Can you mandate COVID vaccinations for your employees? What are your options - and the risks - if an employee refuses? Does an employee have the right to work remotely? Join McInnes Cooper Labour & Employment Lawyers Ian Pickard and Brad Proctor for an invitation-only virtual roundtable conversation, led by your questions, about how to manage COVID in your workplace.

Halihax September Hybrid Meetup

Join us in person or virtually to catch up with the community, and hear members tell stories of the last time they broke something. It's been a long time since we've been able to connect with the community in person, and following the start of phase 5, we would like to plan a fun, informal event to catch up with the community and ease back into in-person meetups. We recognize that not all of our members are located in Halifax, and also that people may prefer to attend the event virtually. To accommodate this, we will be hosting a live stream of the talks via Zoom so everyone can still participate. This event will be hosted at the Wooden Monkey in Dartmouth with pizza and refreshments provided by Halihax, and our sponsors. REGISTER
