Steps for Life
Safety Services Manitoba is proud to support Winnipeg’s Steps for Life walk for victims of workplace tragedy.
The third annual
Steps for Life – Walking for Victims of Workplace Tragedy was held on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at Kildonan Park. We joined 250 walkers to support families who have suffered from a workplace fatality, life-altering injury or occupational disease.
Walkers raised over $12,000 in pledges and donations and the Province of Manitoba made a $10,000 grant for
Threads of Life programming in Manitoba. All together, the event raised over $22,000 for Threads of Life, a national registered charity dedicated to supporting families of workplace tragedy.
You can still
donate to Threads of Life online and even make a donation to
honour a worker killed on the job.
