The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada and Trucking Human Resources Sector Council Atlantic will be hosting an educational seminar on Tuesday December 5th in Truro, Nova Scotia. This seminar was originally scheduled for October 12th, but as a result of schedule conflicts, has been moved to the new date.
The seminar will run from 9am to 1pm and will cover three separate topics, which will bring value to employees and employers from many different sectors of the Transportation industry.
The Topics covered include:
Electronic Logging Device Mandate Update: In December of 2015 the FMCSA published its final rule mandating ELD’s in the USA. After a 2-year phase in period, baring any successful legal challenges, it will become mandatory in the United States on December 18th of this year. In February of 2016 Transport Canada announced they were also mandating ELD’s for federally regulated Canadian Carriers. Transport Canada indicated originally the proposal would be posted in Canada Gazette Part 1 in December of 2016, which was then pushed back to late spring of 2017. As of the date of this release, we are still awaiting publication of the proposal. In this presentation, Mike Millian, the President of the PMTC, will provide attendees with the latest updates on both sides of the border as well as the latest indicated timelines for Compliance and Grandfather dates.
The Legalization of Marijuana and Industry Implications: The Federal Government’s legalization of Marijuana is coming into effect on July 1st of 2018. Kimberly Pochini, the head of Patterson Law’s Labour and Employment team, will walk attendee’s through how this legislation will impact your business. Kimberly will educate you on your responsibilities and how to prepare / protect your organization and employee’s.
Youth Recruitment – Biggest HR question – how do we recruit and retain young people. Kelly Henderson, Executive Director of Trucking Human Resources Sector Council Atlantic, will provide attendee’s with practical information on how to properly recruit and engage youth.
