Young workers are at the front of the line when it comes to workplace vulnerability. One-third of reported workplace injuries are from young workers.
The Alive After Five Young Worker Awareness Program of the BC Federation of Labour is an innovative initiative that seeks to make the province a healthier and safer place to live and work for all of us.
The presentations are engaging and interactive for the participants. The program has more than 50 skilled and trained presenters who provide dynamic and insightful information on vital subjects such as:

Hazard recognition
Knowing your Rights and Responsibilities in the workplace
How to properly report injuries
What protections are provided by the WCB Regulations

NiteHike @ Pacific Spirit Park
2022-04-09 19:00 - 2022-04-10 23:00 | Pacific Spirit Park, Blanca St & W 16th Ave, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Nite Hike is back! After a two-year hiatus, the incredible outdoor adventure Nite Hike, organized by Scouting, is back! We’d like to take a group from the 9th Pathfinders to enjoy this awesome night of outdoor challenges, adventure and friendly competition. The hike goes all night long, but in previous years if girls have preferred, we’ve hiked for a few hours. This gives us plenty of time to enjoy the fun, and still have a comfy sleep after a few hours of adventuring in the dark.
$5 registration includes access to all of the adventures, challenge stations, and a cool crest! Kit list will be posted later in March.
What is NiteHike? Here’s what Scouting has to say:
Is this your first time attending NiteHike? Have you never heard of NiteHike before?
Welcome! NiteHike is an all night hike through Pacific Spirit Park near UBC. Participants register in self assigned groups of 4-7 youth plus at least two leaders and hike the approximately 18km of trails in the dark and compete in activity stations for points! The hike group with the most amount of points is declared the winner, and has their Group name engraved on the NiteHike trophy for all time! NiteHike usually has around 600 hikers, and 20-22 activity stations, and groups can complete as many or as few stations as they want. Youth from Girl Guides, Scouts Canada, and Boy Scouts of America are welcome to attend, with hikers ranging from ages 8 to 80! Most groups that complete the entire event are around 12-14 years of age, and some groups manage to run the entire trail network to try and finish before midnight!
