There will be a free CNIB eye-safety session June 25 at 9 am in the NRC lecture theatre. Presenter: Clarissa Harris LeBreton, Coordinator, Vision Health Promotion and Marketing Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), PE, NS, NB Every 12 minutes someone in Canada develops significant vision loss. The result of such a staggering statistic is significant costs to government, communities and businesses. And in 20 years from now, the number of Canadians with blindness or partial sign will grow by 100 percent. At CNIB, our focus is on diminishing those numbers by ensuring we play a fundamental role in eye safety and prevention. We know that 100 per cent of eye injuries are preventable. Who should attend: anyone who is exposed to eye hazards such as anyone who works in a lab or near chemicals or with particulate matter, Facilities Management employees, etc. Outline: The eye safety session will be delivered by a trained facilitator - Clarissa - who will provide the audience with a first-hand account about the realities associated with vision loss and the need to protect our eyes. CNIB has developed a highly visual presentation to show eye injuries resulting from a range of workplace and recreational situations. Please pre-register for this session with: Rylie Cole, rcole@upei.ca.

Are you looking to add value to your organization? If so, this is your opportunity to participate in a rewarding and meaningful program that will allow you to expand your workforce with energetic, bilingual students, at little cost to your business. UPEI’s Languages at Work program—a part of the Explore Program—takes place from July 1–August 23, and you are invited to get involved by hiring a qualified bilingual student eager to improve their language skills in a work environment. Not only does this program provide students with an excellent opportunity to be immersed in their second language, it also gives employers the opportunity to hire these employees at a lower cost during the peak tourist season as the students’ salaries (plus benefits) are funded 60% by the program! Interested employers must provide students with a meaningful work experience, along with appropriate guidance and orientation, for 35 hours of work per week. For more information, contact Emily Younie, UPEI Languages at Work Project Officer, at (902) 566-0579 or egyounie@upei.ca
