WSIB to host interactive booth at Skills Ontario Competition
TORONTO, April 28, 2017 /CNW/ - The WSIB is partnering with Skills Ontario to raise awareness and promote health and safety among Ontario students considering a career in the skilled trades.

This builds on our recent campaign to raise awareness about the cumulative effects of noise induced hearing loss - http://www.toneitdown.ca/
