tech{LAB} Underwater Eye Spy with SuperNOVA

Take a deep dive under the surface of the ocean with a SuperNOVA instructor as we explore underwater habitats around Halifax, Nova Scotia through a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Participants will follow along with animal and plant identification keys to identify species in our survey and add to our public database of marine sightings and species! An ROV or a remotely operated vehicle is an underwater submersible that is driven from the ocean’s surface rather than from within the vehicle itself. This means with ROVs, you don’t have to send humans deep in the ocean where there’s no oxygen, very little light and a lot of pressure. REGISTER

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.
