Please join Parkland Institute for a free webinar to share the findings of our report “Essential and Expendable: How Alberta’s COVID-19 Response Failed Cargill Workers.” In April 2020, Cargill's beef processing plant in High River, Alberta was the site of the largest single COVID-19 outbreak in North America. Nearly half the plant's workforce tested positive; dozens were hospitalized and two died. This is the first independent investigation into how the Cargill tragedy happened — and why it should never have. Report authors Sean Tucker and Jason Foster will discuss their findings and recommendations, and answer audience questions.
