Vale, the United Steelworkers and CROSH kick-off groundbreaking new study on mining and mental health

Vale, the United Steelworkers and CROSH kick-off groundbreaking new study on mining and mental health

Ontario Minister of Labour, Kevin Flynn, applauded the partners for taking a proactive role in addressing mental health issues through this study.

July 23, 2015 – Today Vale and the United Steelworkers, in partnership with the Centre for Research in Occupational Safety and Health (CROSH) at Laurentian University, announced a groundbreaking new research project on the topic of mental health in the mining industry. 

The aim of the 3-year study, called ‘Mining Mental Health’, is to gain vital information in order to develop key strategies that promote the best possible mental health for workers at Vale’s Ontario Operations. In addition, this study will contribute substantially to the body of research to help others in the mining industry and similar sectors to develop evidence-based practices that effectively promote positive mental health. 

Ontario Minister of Labour, Kevin Flynn, applauded the partners for taking a proactive role in addressing mental health issues through this study. 

“Good employers recognize the importance of keeping their people physically safe and healthy on the job, and great employers are taking the next step to ensure their workplaces promote psychological safety and well-being,” said Minister Flynn. “Vale is becoming a leader in this area, and I want to thank them for supporting this research project and taking mental health in the workplace seriously. I hope to see many companies follow their lead.” 

Existing data suggests that the percentage of disability claims in Canada attributable to mental health problems is estimated at 78% of short-term claims and 67% of long-term claims. At Vale’s Ontario Operations, approximately one in four of all disability claims are due to mental health problems. 

“In order to build an effective mental health management system, it is vital to understand the predictors, facilitators and barriers to good mental health at our operations and in our industry,” said Jody Kuzenko, Director of Vale’s Ontario Production Services and member of the CROSH Board. “We are proud to be taking a leading role through this research, in partnership with the United Steelworkers and Laurentian University, to help contribute to the well-being of our workers.” 

“Mental health, especially as it relates to workers in an industrial setting, has long been an overlooked and underfunded area of research, which is why this study is so important,” said Leo Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers and Chair of the CROSH Advisory Board. “I’m pleased and excited that the USW, Vale and CROSH are coming together in such a concrete and meaningful way to try to tackle this issue and reduce the suffering and effects of poor mental health on workers and their families.” 

The project will use a comprehensive survey to sample workers from all occupational groups across Vale’s Ontario Operations. A multidisciplinary research team from CROSH will be led by Dr. Michel Larivière, clinical psychologist and Associate Director at CROSH. The team will work closely with the Vale/USW Joint Occupational Health Committee (JOHC) in all phases of the project from survey development to the presentation of findings. 

“To date there has been little research on the mental health and well-being of workers in the mining industry. However, there is good evidence linking these issues to productivity, absenteeism, injury, and most importantly, quality of life,” said Dr. Larivière. “Through this collaborative research, we hope to better understand the well-being of this workforce. Our findings may help to shape policies and procedures that are most conducive to worker well-being in mining and in other industries.” 

The research team also includes postdoctoral fellows, as well as graduate and undergraduate students. The cost of the study is estimated at approximately $400,000.

Laurentian Architecture CLT project creates 'impressive profile'

Laurentian Architecture CLT project creates 'impressive profile'

School’s Phase Two showcases Cross-Laminated Timber construction

JUNE 4th, 2015 – A two-storey structure built with cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam wood products is taking shape at the Laurentian University School of Architecture under construction in downtown Sudbury, Ontario.   The CLT structure is part of the 54,000 sq ft Phase Two facility of the new School, and represents the most significant use of CLT in a public building in Ontario to date. 

 

“The assembly of the 9-metre tall CLT panels creates an impressive profile for Laurentian Architecture,” said Dr. Terrance Galvin, Founding Director of the School of Architecture.  “The CLT structure is innovative, beautiful, and sustainable, and reflects the School’s focus on northern design.” 

Officials of Laurentian University and its School of Architecture today welcomed guests, including representatives of the Centre for Research in the Bio-Economy (CRIBE), a funder of the CLT demonstration project, and representatives of Wood WORKS!, a program of the Canadian Wood Council, for a site visit. 

“This building represents a significant leap in the evolution of educational buildings and clearly demonstrates what can be achieved with CLT,” said Marianne Bérubé, Executive Director, Ontario Wood WORKS!.  “This will be an interactive learning environment where the wood structure itself embodies the innovative and sustainable design concepts being learned by Laurentian’s architecture students.”   

The use of wood instead of other construction materials in the Laurentian Architecture project affords an important environmental benefit, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 150 metric tons, as compared with a conventional building, according to a carbon calculation prepared by Ontario Wood WORKS!.

“Wood was a staple material of Canada's past, and now we are seeing it as the building material of the future,” said architect David Warne, of LGA Architectural Partners.  “It’s strong, it’s renewable, and it is emblematic of northern industry and sustainable design.”

 

There has been growing interest in the use of timber products like CLT, which is sometimes described as ‘the new concrete’ because of its strength and versatility.  Changes to the Ontario Building Code are expected to promote the construction of more and taller buildings incorporating CLT and other wood products. 

 

Phase Two of the Laurentian Architecture project will comprise both the West Wing and a North Wing, a steel-framed structure with mezzanines above the second floor.  The two new wings will house classrooms and studio space, a lecture theatre, lounges and office areas, while creating an inner courtyard and a public walkway.  The new structures of Phase Two will connect with the re-furbished historic buildings on the site, the old CPR Freight Shed and the CP Telegraph Building, which have provided classroom, studio and office space since the School of Architecture opened in September, 2013.  The School has accepted 70 students each fall since its launch, and looks forward to welcoming the 2015-16 cohort this September.

Dr. David Lesbarrères honoured as virtual researcher on call

Dr. David Lesbarrères honoured as virtual researcher on call

The award was presented at a ceremony celebrating the Partners in Research 2015 National Award recipients on May 26th.

MAY 27, 2015 – Laurentian University’s Acting Dean in the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and Associate Professor in the Department of Biology, Dr. David Lesbarrères has been honoured with this year’s Partners in Research Virtual Researcher on Call (VROC) Expert Participation Award.

 

The award was presented at a ceremony celebrating the Partners in Research 2015 National Award recipients on May 26th in Ottawa.

 

VROC brings Canadian university researchers and other experts into elementary and secondary school classrooms through video-conferencing, giving students direct access to some of the world’s leading scientists. Many of these discussions are available as podcasts through the VROC video library, and through YouTube and iTunes.

 

The VROC program was launched in 2006 by Partners in Research, a London, Ontario-based registered charity promoting science education, with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as fields of discovery and study for Canadian students. 



 

“Dr. Lesbarrères has a gift for making his research relevant and meaningful to young people,” said VROC Executive Director Kevin Cougler.  “He has been generous with his time, and his enthusiasm for research in biology has certainly caught on with students.”

 

Dr. Lesbarrères is head of the Genetic and Ecology of Amphibians Research Group (GEARG) at Laurentian University.

 

In 2013, Dr. Lesbarrères took part in a 6-week mentorship experience with a Grade 6 class at Aqsarniit Ilinniarvik Middle School in Iqualuit, Nunavut. “Being in a remote location makes it difficult to have speakers and experts come into the classroom, especially with a biology background. With David, we got to see cells under a microscope,” said the Grade 6 teacher, Caryn Conley.  “His presentations clarified ideas for many students. They also got the students excited about science time and most importantly encouraged their curiosity.”  For more on the mentorship experience, go to http://www.vroc.ca/pir/en/tag/david-lesbarreres/
