On Oct. 4, Labour and Citizens’ Services Minister Olga Ilich joined with the De Patie and Crellin families to announce a mandatory pre-payment system at service stations in urban areas will be implemented to help protect employees who work late at night. Minister Ilich was joined in the announcement by Chett and Florence Crellin; and Corinne and Doug De Patie, the grandparents and parents of Grant De Patie. The new requirement will be known as Grant's Law in memory of Grant.
The Crellin and De Patie families have worked tirelessly for changes to workplace safety rules to increase protection for late-night service station attendants since their grandson and son, Grant De Patie, was killed by a stolen vehicle that was fleeing the gas station where he worked. Shown with Minister Ilich are Doug and Corinne De Patie and Florence Crellin.
Minister Ilich briefs reporters on how the province will implement Grant's Law, which will provide increased protection to late-night service station employees by requiring prepayment.
