John Cooper’s Rally in Prince George BC.
By WorkSafeBC | May 4, 2009 - 8:27 pm - This article Posted in Your Stories

On April 28 2009 I held a rally at the WCB (WorkSafeBC) office in Prince George BC.

The turn out for picketers was poor due to the cold but I was able to get 168 signatures on my petition.
There was hundreds of people that drove by honking their horns and giving thumbs up. An old couple in their seventies pulled up and thanked me for taking action. They are currently looking after their son that was hurt at work and is now so upset he is contemplating suicide.
I plan to hold the rally again next year! Instead of only having a month to get ready I have all year. The next rally should be bigger and better.
For more information I can be contacted by posting comments on this post.

Hello Mr.Cooper,or anyone
I found your blog . I am looking for help in order to file a review division submission.
I was hoping to find an advocate in the Prince George area. Not a WorkSafeBC appointed person.
Do you know of anyone.
thank -you June

Phone a lawyer referal who, for a nominal fee, will meet with you for half an hour. Be aware you only have a certain timeframe to file a review division submission.
