Lifeguard not on duty: Popular Mactaquac beach won't be supervised this summer
Lifesaving society says lack of lifeguards will make beach west of Fredericton less safe
Mactaquac Provincial Park's beach will go unsupervised because it's been hard to recruit lifeguards, sparking concerns from the New Brunswick Lifesaving Society about safety at the beach located about 25 kilometres west of Fredericton.
"Less than one per cent of the drownings that happen in the Maritimes happen in a supervised area, which is a very low number," said Gregoire Cormier, program manager at the society.
"Now, unfortunately, this beach is no longer fitting that supervised criteria to make it safe."

until this year. (Aidan Cox/CBC)
Department of Tourism spokesperson Leigh Watson confirmed to CBC News that the beach won't be supervised this summer because of "a lack of qualified candidates."
"The department worked with the Lifesaving Society to try to fill these lifeguard positions," Watson said in an email.
"Signage posted at the beach advises visitors that they swim at their own risk."
CBC News asked for an interview with Tourism Minister Tammy Scott-Wallace on Friday, but Watson said she was unavailable.
Watson said Parlee Beach and the pool at République Provincial Park in Edmundston will have lifeguards this year.
Challenges with recruiting lifeguards have been felt across the country since last summer, forcing municipalities to scale back the operating hours at swimming pools and limit the number of lessons offered.
At Kelly's Beach in Kouchibouguac National Park, recruitment challenges led to there being no lifeguards on duty last summer, said Timothy Murphy, a spokesperson for the park in northeastern New Brunswick.
He said ongoing staffing constraints this year see lifeguards on duty only from Thursday to Monday.
Recruitment strategy needed, group says
Staff at the Lifesaving Society of New Brunswick found out just this week that Mactaquac's beach would go unsupervised this year, Cormier said.
"Obviously, it came [as] a shock to us because again, it's many decades that this, a public beach is is guarded and then suddenly it is not for the first time," he said.

Cormier, program manager at the Lifesaving Society of New Brunswick,
said employers, including the provincial government, need to come up
with a recruitment strategy to ensure it has lifeguards to staff its
beaches and pools. (Zoom/CBC)
Cormier said the shortage of lifeguards can be blamed both on effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and on wages that have lagged behind the rising cost of living.
He said public health restrictions limited the ability to train new lifeguards, particularly in the first two years of the pandemic.
At the same time, many employers in New Brunswick only offer minimum wage of $14.75 an hour, or wages a few dollars higher.
Parks New Brunswick's website advertises lifeguard wages starting at $14.75, and going up to $18.50 an hour.
With Mactaquac a 30-minute drive west of Fredericton, in combination with the higher price of gas, Cormier said, many qualified lifeguards are likely opting to work closer to the city.
"If the salaries increase, that would help a lot and probably, I guess, as a one-solution fit-all, that would probably be it," he said.
"But there's also a recruitment strategy that needs to be in place. [Gone] are the days that we just post a job and then people come to you and say 'Yeah, I want that job.' You need to go in the field and actually recruit people."

New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity says workers in women dominated
industry paid less than they should be
CBC News · Posted: Oct 29, 2020 2:43 PM AT

the care sector, such as home care workers, crisis interveners and
caregivers in community residences, can be paid up to $10 less per
hour than they should be. (wavebreakmedia/Shutterstock)
An advocacy group is calling on the province to make wages in the
women–dominated care sector more equitable.
A report by the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity says home care
workers, crisis interveners and caregivers in community residences can
be paid up to $10 less per hour than they should be.
The coalition, which includes 88 organizations including CUPE, New
Brunswick Council of Nursing Home Unions and NB Special Care Home
Association, said fair wages for workers in this sector would be
between $22-25 an hour. But wages are much lower, ranging between
$15.30 - $16.80 an hour.
Johanne Perron, the executive director of the coalition, said it can
be difficult to determine the pay gap in an industry so dominated by
women because it's not possible to compare the wages of men and women
working the same job.

Gallant promises to legislate pay equity in private sector
Instead they used a formula from Quebec's pay equity regime to
determine how undervalued their work can be.
Perron said that's partly because the work has historically been done
mostly by women.
"I think that we've been devaluing this work as a society for a long
time," said Perron.
"First of all, we expect women to do it for free at home. I think it's
changing and that's really positive. But I still see this, that we
expect women to take care of children and vulnerable people and their
families, more than men."
Long time coming
Nancy Tower, the assistant director of Oromocto Community Residences,
said while things have improved since care workers used to be paid
close to minimum wage, there's still a long way to go.
"There's no question about it, this field, this sector has been
undervalued for the entire duration of my 36 years of employment,"
said Tower.
Perron says being chronically underpaid has had a huge impact on those
working in the sector.
She said this causes many people to drop out and turnover is high.
Johanne Perron, the executive director of the coalition, said it can
be difficult to determine the pay gap in the industry since it is so
dominated by women that it’s not possible to compare the wages of men
and women working the same job.
"It's really hard to recruit new staff and it's hard to keep that
staff," said Perron.
"The sector really is in crisis."
Tower said the high degree of accountability and responsibility in the
care sector is not reflected in the wage workers earn, and they often
leave.
"They realize over time that the workload on them is so overwhelming
that they do end up leaving for a job that is perhaps a little easier,
certainly a job that is better paid," said Tower.
"We've lost a lot of employees to call centres."
Narrow gap
Perron said the coalition wants the province to implement a five-year
plan to address pay equity and bring in pay equity legislation for the
private sector.
"We need a real plan to get to pay equity for the whole sector," said Perron.

"We highly value the contributions of these individuals and have

ups being disbursed for essential workers," said Scott-Wallace.
"In the longer term, we recognize the wages and conditions for these
valued workers need to be considered as we work to address the
sustainability of these valued services."

Johanne Perron of the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity, says
caregivers in private facilities are not currently being paid a fair
wage.
The minister for the status of woman was in Moncton on Tuesday to
announce a grant of $335,000 for the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay
Equity to address low wages being paid to women who work as caregivers
in the private sector.
The New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity advocates education and
legislation that would create the groundwork for implementing pay
equity in both public and private sectors.

At the funding announcement, the group's executive director, Johanne
Perron, said the money will go toward education and studies.
"We want the population to understand the value of caregiving work, we
want the caregivers to understand what is pay equity so they can use
pay equity justifications to get better wages and we also want to do
job evaluations."
Perron said caregivers are often overlooked, because too many people
see the work as a continuation of work historically done by women in
the home, for free.
"Right now these women are not being paid fairly when you compare the
value of their work with the value of jobs that are mostly done by
men," she said.

coalition will address the root causes of the pay equity problem for
caregivers. (Pierre Fournier/CBC)
She said caregivers are paid between $12 and $15 an hour, a wage she
calls "insufficient" for the work done.
Maryam Monsef, the minister of the status of women, said the money is
going toward the project proposed by the group, rather than straight
into an increase of caregiver wages because the government wants to
address system barriers.
"The solutions that we are looking for at status of women and the
federal government are solutions that take into account the systemic
barriers that prevent people, whether it's employees or employers,
from reaching their full potential," Monsef said.

Pay inequity still an issue for some N.B. job sectors
"Barriers can include the undervaluing of work done by woman, and
that's not a problem that goes away by throwing money at it."
The announcement was made at the Autumn Lee Retirement Home, where
Martha Demmons has lived for three years. She would like to see wages
increased for the people who work there.

where the announcement was made, and she believes a fair wage for the
people work there is important. (Tori Weldon/CBC)
"It's very important ... of course, it should be to everybody."
Perron said her group relies heavily on the work of volunteers, but
this grant will help to ensure more work is paid for.
"You do need some real, hard money sometimes to get things moving to
ensure people can talk to each other, meet each other and do the
work."
