Please join us at the Asbestos Diseases of Victoria (ADSVIC) annual Commemoration Ceremony held at the end of Asbestos Awareness Week. The Commemoration Ceremony will start at 11 am on Friday 27 November 2009 at the BMW Edge Theatre, Federation Square.
We are urging union members and OHS reps in particular to attend in numbers as a show of solidarity for ADSVIC and to share the occasion with the families and friends of workers that have died from an asbestos related disease.
Creating public awareness is critical to successfully pressuring the Brumby government to act on asbestos. Strong worker attendance at the event will encourage the media to continue reporting about asbestos and will increase the awareness of the dangers of asbestos among the general public.
This year the Governor of Victoria David de Kretser AC will present the keynote address. Martin Kingham will also speak followed by a number of small presentations by families personally affected by asbestos disease. There will be a BBQ after the ceremony on the banks of the Yarra.
