VICTORIA — WorkSafeBC has announced Baltej Dhillon has been appointed the new chair of its board of directors.
Dhillon has been a member of the board since 2017 and is the first South Asian Canadian to take on the role, according to a news release.
He replaces Jeff Parr, who was chair from August 2020 to June 2023.
