Notes from the Dome: Farm safety grants and the Spanish flu

The government has launched a $6-million farm and ranch safety grant program to help offset some of the costs agriculture employers face under health and safety changes.
The three-year program is a response to changes coming into force Dec. 1.
Farms and ranches with waged, non-family workers and a WCB account can apply for the grant, which covers up to half of eligible safety expenses to a maximum of $5,000 per year (or $10,000 over the life of the program per eligible applicant).
