More than 4,000 people in 28 communities across Canada
walked together to support families of workplace
fatalities, life-altering injuries and occupational
diseases. Preliminary numbers indicate more than $225,000
was raised! (Community totals will be available in
June on each community page.)
The annual
5 km walk is held the first
Sunday in May which traditionally kicks off
NAOSH week. Steps for Life is the primary fundraising
event for Threads of Life.
Families, friends and co-workers and employers walked
to raise awareness about the importance of injury
prevention in the workplace and to raise funds for
family support programs and services to help victims of
workplace tragedy. Last year the walk raised more than $158,000
in cash for family support programs and services.
Charity of Choice
Threads of Life is the charity of choice for
health and safety fundraising and corporate giving
involving occupational health and safety events.
Memorial Lane
Each community is unique in where the walk takes place and
how it takes shape but each walk features a Memorial
Lane of victims of workplace tragedy.
How
can you help?
Help support victims of workplace tragedy by
walking, registering a team, sponsoring a walker or
committing as an event sponsor.
