I was deeply saddened by the news of Katherine’s passing on September 23rd. Katherine was such a great mentor and teacher, a wonderful colleague and friend. She was always kind, supportive and generous. I had the privilege to be her student, trainee, and junior colleague, and I learned so much from her about the world of health and safety, and she guided me through so many challenges in research and life. I had many lovely memories with Katherine, and the most vivid one was when I was a second-year PhD candidate in Cardiff University. She came to visit my supervisor, Prof David Walters, and we had a very long discussion about the barriers for seafarers to claim workers’ compensation in China. She was smiling all the time, very patiently listened to me, asked me a lot of inspiring questions. It was such a great encouragement for me. In 2017, with the support of On the Move Partnership, I had the opportunity to conduct my postdoc research under Katherine’s supervision. She was such a caring, inspiring mentor, and her research centre at 603 King Edward, Ottawa, was always full of passion about occupational health and safety and labour law. Her legacy is a profound and lasting one. Katherine will be dearly missed…
