National "It's Your Job" video contest focusing on work safety offers cash prizes
Each year, more than 31,000 young workers across Canada are injured seriously enough to need time off work. Meanwhile, some are unaware that they have the right to be paid fairly for the work they do.
That’s why the federal government, the provinces and territories are jointly launching the first national video contest on workplace safety and fairness.
The contest opened for submissions Feb. 1 and will close April 5.
With cash prizes of up to $3,000, the “It’s Your Job” contest invites contestants to submit a video of up to two minutes on any topic related to awareness about workplace health and safety, or employment standards.
A panel of celebrity judges will select the top winners.
