Did you know that PEI's Workers Compensation Board (WCB) has a prize for young workers who are committed to health and safety at work? Check out the Safe Youth Award poster here. Two $1000 prizes are given out each summer to youth who demonstrate an understanding of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) principles in their workplace. A prize will be awarded in each of two categories, youth 15 – 19 years of age, and youth 20 – 24 years old.

Youth in both age categories may apply on their own, with an accompanying workplace reference, or may be nominated by someone in the workplace. Submission deadline is September 3, 2025.

Check out the WCB Programs, Contests and Awards Page, and Application/Nomination for more details.
