Mediate BC and Justice Institute of BC are already gearing up for next year’s conflict resolution conference and workshops. Mark your calendars for May 6-7, 2027 at JIBC (New West campus) or online! If you’d like to join us in-person, we have partnered with Inn at the Quay for discounted rates.

We’re pleased to announce the official launch of the Early Resolution Resource Line, a phone line to support employers in the trades in addressing sexual harassment and bullying. The Early Resolution Resource Line emphasizes practical guidance to help employers address these concerns early, before they escalate into formal investigations or other adversarial processes. Our team can assist with information and resources for early, trauma-informed and non-adversarial conflict resolution processes.

Employers can connect with our team to receive confidential support:

  • Learning about early, trauma-informed conflict resolution
  • Determining best conflict resolution processes for specific circumstances
  • Preparing for difficult conversations, facilitated conversations, mediations and other conflict resolution processes
  • Accessing resources and referrals to support employees
  • Developing workplace policies that allow for early, conflict resolution processes

Contact the Resource Line at 604-684-1300 or email us at tradesnavigator@mediatebc.com to connect with a member of our team.

Deadline: May 31, 2026
