This month on the Vital Victoria Podcast, Rory Kulmala, the CEO of the Vancouver Island
Construction Association (VICA), joins host Lucky Budd to talk about mental health and
addiction issues that many are facing in the construction industry. They talk about how
VICA has been educating workers about harm reduction, connecting them with local
resources to help, and reducing the stigma around mental health and substance issues.
They talk about how Rory’s time in the navy inspired him and his team to take action on
mental health issues, and how, day by day, that action is helping save lives.
