We were deeply distraught to learn that a Canadian Border Services Agency worker passed away this past weekend while working at the Ambassador Bridge. On behalf of all of us at CAPE, we extend our deepest sympathies to the friends, family and colleagues of the border officer.
We encourage all those affected by this tragedy to attend to their grief and seek support if needed. The Employee Assistance Program is a free and confidential professional counselling service available to federal public sector workers. We encourage you to contact the one for your department or agency.
Mental health is an important aspect of our lives and that includes stressful or challenging workplaces.
On behalf of the CAPE community,
Nathan Prier
CAPE President
