Saint John, NB: It is with great sorrow that the WHSCC announces the death of WHSCC board member John Mahar, who died Wednesday. Mahar died from head injuries sustained from a fall at his Fredericton business, Topmar Building Supplies, on November 23.
“John was a valuable and highly regarded member of our board, who worked tirelessly in the best interests of employers and workers in New Brunswick. We will miss him greatly,” said Roberta Dugas, WHSCC chair. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family,” she said.
Mahar served on the WHSCC board of directors since his appointment in January 2002, as a member representing employers.
