Are you and your business ready to respond to a disaster or disruptive event? They can be wildfires, earthquakes, floods, landslides, a train derailment, or serious incident on-site at your facility. If your organization is not fully prepared, you risk profit loss, time loss, or serious injury—and damage to brand reputation. In Thursday's webinar, business continuity expert Paul Breed MSc. MBCI.

Thank you Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas and Councillors Maxine DeHart, Hon. Ron Cannan P.C., ICD.D., and Dr. Gord lovegrove for joining us yesterday morning at our Leadership Breakfast launching this year's Make It Safe Okanagan. With more than 100 delegates representing approximately 50 different local businesses in attendance, connections were strengthened and made to improve health, safety, and performance for all workplaces across B.C.

This afternoon’s industry keynote panel looks at some of the takeaways and learnings from the 2023 wildfire season. A couple things to already note: - meeting other emergency responders and team members should not happen during an emergency, making the connections in advance means that you’re able to respond quickly and well - evaluating what local resources are available to meet supply chain demands is key to helping ensure your business can continue during a disaster - normal day to day incidents still happen, even during times of emergencies; it’s not either or, but teams having to respond to both the ordinary and extraordinary at the same time Thank you Jason Brolund, Gavin W Johnston, and Lesli Bradley for joining Lisa McGuire in this conversation. . . . #MakeItSafe #safetyatwork #emergencyresponse

An incredibly touching keynote that sparked reflection on how honest reflection makes a difference in building a strong safety culture. For Dinoflex, Mark Bunz shared that this it was an event that affected an individual, a family, their team, and their leadership— an event that affected a community—that lead them down this path. Dinoflex is managing the fallout from the accident, their relationships with customers, and their team’s worries. They had never had a serious accident. Had they been curious and had the mindset they have today, how things could have changed. Shane would still be here with us today. . . . #safetyatwork #makeitsafe

CEO Lisa McGuire reflects on the why heath and safety are important, and the purpose behind hosting Make It Safe Okanagan. With 175 lives lost last year due to workplace incidents, we are honoured to have a full room of local heath, safety, and business leaders come together to make a change.

This year’s Make It Safe Okanagan is starting with an intimate Leadership Breakfast. A great way for Okanagan business leaders of today and tomorrow to connect. BDC gave an enlightening presentation on what businesses can expect for changes coming up in the near future.
