The Conference
Four Days of Powerful Talks
June 18-21st 2024
The WCB Lawyers' Conference has been an annual must-attend event for 40 years now. Bringing together lawyers from the legal departments of all WCBs in Canada, this conference allows them to discuss the state of workers' compensation and occupational health and safety law in Canada, as well as to share administrative and strategic information common to all these jurisdictions.
Held this year in Whitehorse, Yukon, this conference will build on the learnings of the past few years' conferences, while offering a fresh perspective on developments in relevant areas of the law over the past year.
