Although the WCB operates at arm's length from the provincial government, it is accountable to stakeholders in
numerous ways. Indeed, many of the WCB's events listed here are unique in Canada, providing stakeholders opportunities
to meet with key decision makers.
Compensation Institute
The 11th Annual Compensation Institute was held in Regina at the Delta Regina on March 10 and 11th. More than 340 people attended
the event this year making it the largest Comp. Institute to date.
Highlights...
Annual General Meeting
The WCB was the first in Canada to hold annual public meetings starting in 1995. Now a legislated event (section 22.2 of
the
Workers' Compensation General Regulations),
it supports the organization's dedication to openness and accountability by providing an overview of the
WCB's operations. The 2008 Annual General Meeting was held May 6 in Regina and May 7 in Saskatoon. Highlights will be posted when available.
Employer Premium Consultation
This annual fall process is spread over two to three weeks. Employer groups and associations are invited to discuss
the WCB's projections for the following year's premiums.
Committee of Review
A panel made up of equal employer and worker representation reviews the WCB every four years, as required by
legislation (section 162 of the
Workers' Compensation Act).
The Report of the 2006 Committee of Review Parts
One and
Two were released in July 2007.
