Steps for Life - Toronto


May 03, 2009


Steps for Life - Walking for Victims of Workplace Tragedy is an annual 5KM Family Walk created to help raise health and safety awareness at the community level, while also supporting those who have suffered from a workplace tragedy. It is an opportunity not only to support families affected, but also a unique way to educate the community about the devastating ripple effects of a workplace tragedy and the need to work together to prevent others from being hurt. Steps for Life is traditionally held on the first Sunday in May as a launch to the North American Occupational Safety and Health Week (NAOSH). On Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 over 1,200 people across Canada will walk in support of victims of workplace fatalities, life-altering injuries and occupational disease. They are parents, siblings, children, grand-parents, close friends, co-workers and employers all united by their loss and need to prevent other workplace tragedies.

Time: 10:30 am to 2 pm - Walk starts at 11 am followed by a BBQ lunch
Venue: Ashbridges Bay Park
Location: Lakeshore Blvd. E. and Coxwell Avenue Toronto, ON
