Abstract

The impact of the chrysotile (white asbestos) industry at home and abroad was the focus of the first independent conference on asbestos to be held in Canada. In September 2003, Canadian asbestos victims and international experts met to examine a wide range of issues on Capital Hill, Ottawa; victims and their relatives spoke eloquently of the devious means used by asbestos stakeholders to maintain control of the national asbestos agenda. At the conclusion of the conference, Ban Asbestos Canada, a campaigning group to assist victims and raise awareness of Canada's tragic asbestos legacy, was formed.
