Nutter Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hey folks Yukon, myself and a few other have agreed to help out with the VIA booth at the show. So were asking that if any of you guy's who have trail work or any other volunteering pic's (TP, Grooming, Events ..ect.), could you please burn them onto a disk and bring them along to AGM (or give them to your club rep who is going if your not) and give them to either Yukon or myself at AGM.(full size/res will work best) We'd love to use them in the VIA booth. Also if anyone else who is already manning a district booth at the show, it'd be great if you could lend a hand at the VIA booth for a few min here and there through out the weekend. For that pm me if your interested. Thanks folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutter Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 .....and them thinking this still happens. OK..... Serious stuff now a days Dom, we all learned that the hard way with the death of a groomer operator and subsiquent charges being laid to club/association exec's. Since doing the training myself that Yukon did for our club, I went out and spent the couple hundy on my own gear for here around the house, and wear it religiously. Don't get me wrong I think it's great pic, but I think it's time we all do it and show it the right way, including using pic's or vid from before we changed how we did things, unless we are using it as an example. For the time and money it takes to safety up, it just isn't worth risks, we all want to go home to our families and ride the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that said safety is paramount as volenteers are great people who need to go to work and enjoy life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why were volunteers being charged last year up their in your district by the MOL ? Did you miss the mailout regarding joint health and safety ? Clubs,Districts and associations are required to show due diligence ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that said safety is paramount as volenteers are great people who need to go to work and enjoy life. Bill I thought the same, but had since learned through what the OFSc has passed along to it's clubs, that we fall under the same classification as Tourism and Hospitality workers, the fact that we don't receive a pay check means nothing when we take direction from a corp, corp meaning our indavidual clubs as they are all incorperated under their own identity. The officers/executives of the corp (club) must practice due diligence under the Ontario Health and Safety Act to provide a safe working environment for all under their direction .... paid or not. If they choose not to then they will be held legally responsible, under the Ontario Health and Safety Act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is that nobody should get hurt . I doubt that the MOL truely has jurisdiction over volenteers, however my conscience does and as such we have ALWAYS provided best measures and equipment . Long before we were told to .
