About Us
Pictou County Injured Workers' Association ( PCIWA ) is a not for profit association providing support and assistance to injured workers and their families. Founded in 1992, our association advocates for change to the workers' compensation system to ensure it maintains consistency with its founding principles which include compensation regardless of fault, the total cost of the system being shared by all employers, the assurance and security of prompt compensation and future benefits, and the Board being a neutral third party administrator which is autonomous and non-political.
Our activities include:
-
Educating injured workers of their rights and responsibilities under the legislation and policies.
-
Assisting injured workers during the adjudicative phase of their claims.
-
Advocating for legislative and operational improvements in an effort to ensure the historical principles and intent of the workers' compensation system are maintained.
Our mission is to empower and support injured workers in
Pictou County and all across Nova Scotia, so they can redefine their future and get their lives back.
