Ban Asbestos Canada
Kyla Sentes
Ban Asbestos Canada (BAC), Canada

ABSTRACT

Along with its mandate of pushing for the global ban of asbestos, Ban Asbestos Canada was formed with a strong desire to help and support victims. However, the sheer geographical size of Canada makes the coordination of programs and services for victims and their families challenging. In order to be effective in providing this BAC must coordinate information-transfer in each province related to respective compensation systems, legislation relating to asbestos exposure, available specialists and social supports.
