Marcia’s passion for Occupational health and Safety was ignited early and has carried her throughout a 30 year career. With experience in both the private sector and in the public service, Marcia has a tri-partite view, while firmly focussed on protecting workers. A past member of FETCO, Marcia was drawn to the work of the Labour Program while working on various regulatory amendments and new regulations. When the opportunity to move the Labour Program was presented, Marcia jumped and has never looked back.
