The Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission has just announced their new President and CEO.
Jenni Bruce, the Chair of the Governance Council of the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission, just announced that, effective October 2nd, Rick Hunt will become the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the WSCC.
In a statement, Bruce says that “Rick brings decades of northern, safety, and management experience to the table. “He values creating safe and respectful workplaces and recognizes the importance of developing collaborative relationships and delivering strong customer service. We’re so excited to welcome him to our team.”
Rick began his experience using his environmental degree and safety diplomas in the Alberta oil sands industry. He joined Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) in 2004 as a Safety/Environment Officer before progressing up the leadership ladder, where he currently holds the position of President and CEO. He holds several professional designations, including Canadian Certified Environmental Practitioner (CCEP), a Certified Health & Safety Consultant (CHSC), and a National Construction Safety Officer (NCSO).
This marks the first time that the President and CEO of the WSCC will be positioned in Nunavut. WSCC is the only compensation board in Canada that serves more than one province or territory.
