Essential Work Keeps Communities Safe Every Day: Goertzen
The Manitoba government is recognizing the essential work of correctional officers and juvenile counsellors, by proclaiming Sept. 7, as Correctional Worker Day, Justice Minister Kelvin Goertzen announced today.
“The work that the men and women who serve as correctional officers and juvenile counsellors do helps keep our communities safe. They perform essential work daily, supporting the future success of inmates so they will again become contributing members of society upon their release,” said Goertzen. “It’s an honour to proclaim this day to recognize their service and support their role in our justice system.”
There are seven adult and youth correctional facilities in Manitoba, which employ over 2,000 full and part-time correctional staff including correctional officers, juvenile counsellors, nurse program facilitators and correctional trades instructors.
This year, Correctional Worker Day coincides with the Corrections Exemplary Service Award ceremony at Government House, where 17 staff will be honoured for their work with the Corrections Exemplary Service Medal, presented by the minister.
