New Field

Years ago, when I was an operator, safety wasn't a big thing. Then our government got concerned about workers being hurt, so stronger legislation came in. Nestle had also just taken over at that time and they're very, very strong on safety.

Health and Safety became a full time activity, so they asked me if I would take that position in 1995. It was frightening, because I didn't know what to do. But thank goodness for the University of Manitoba; they were there for me.
