How the death of 26 Westray miners can save lives today
Thirty-two years ago the Westray mine in Pictou county, Nova Scotia, exploded killing 26 miners. Ten years later the United Steelworkers, other labour organizations and individuals were able to get a federal Westray Law enacted which can help workers today. A memorial held on Tuesday March 26, 2024, was attended by members of the Westray Families Group, Rev. Glen Matheson, Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske, USW National director Marty Warren, Nova Scotia Federation of Labour president Danny Cavanagh, USW District 6 (Atlantic Canada) director Myles Sullivan, E.B.

Thinking Out Loud with Sheldon MacLeod
Justice for the 26 coal miners
For a man who couldn't read or write, the Westray mine offered him a well paying job when there were few available. And thirty years later, the memories of that place and the people he worked with are still with Vernon Theriault. He was able to turn his anger at the company into action by lobbying the Federal Government for what ended up being Bill C-45, the Westray Bill. Although he says there hasn't been justice for the 26 men who died, he continues to fight for worker safety. The co-author of Westray: My Journey from Darkness to Light and the...

30 years after Westray
I remember there were a lot of young men my age who were envious of the people who got good paying jobs at Westray. And now , even though it's been 30 years since the tragedy, there are people like Vernon Theriault who will never stop fighting for work place safety.

May 9, 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the Westray mining disaster where 26 Miners lost their lives.The disaster left an indelible mark on the province and prompted major changes to workplace health and safety. Today, we have half the number of workplace injuries. We have better awareness, better safety programs, better adherence to safety legislation. A shift in focus that puts safety before profits. If there's a silver lining in Westray it's that it gave us a deeper understanding of what can happen when we don't put safety first. One of the biggest changes to come...

The 1992 Westray Mining Accident Still Influences Recreation Today
The May 9th, 1992 Westray mining explosion that claimed 26 lives resulted in accountability change across Canada as Bill C-45 was created to help ensure that those directly responsible for the health and safety of others are held criminally accountability should they fail to act appropriately. In this podcast, ORFA’s Technical Director looks back at the Westray accident and the legal wranglings that occurred post event that had Canadians coast to coast demand change. He also overlays the Westray event over the Fernie BC refrigeration plant explosion and shares that 5-years after the October 17, 2017 accident that the BC RCMP investigation re...

Orkney Islands
Hello! This podcast is an overview of my experiences in the Orkney Islands, when I visited back at the end of May. They're not a group of islands that are that well-known in the UK, as they feel kind of just 'a little too far' from most people, who'll tend to visit more accessible places like Skye and Mull. Much of the pod is also putting my experiences into context; for instance the islands have a very long history of human habitation and some of the sites I visited are very special.
