Who are Threads of Life Speakers?


 
 
Members of the Speakers Bureau are volunteers who have been affected by a life-altering workplace injury, fatality, or are living with an occupational disease. They are parents, spouses and friends. They are united in their courage and conviction -- that sharing their personal story will prevent further injuries in the workplace. Their presentations are moving and unforgettable.

"Anyone who has experienced a workplace tragedy would agree with the mission and vision statements of Threads of Life. If we can only prevent one unnecessary injury from happening, speaking for Threads of Life will be a rewarding experience. We are looking forward to the challenge."
Marj Deyell, mother of John, 23 years, who died on the job
Volunteer Speaker, Speakers Bureau

"The issue of safety in the workplace, the reality of tragic death and life-altering injuries that effect families, and the hope that we extend as "someone who has been there," constitutes a message I feel honoured to speak about to various groups."
Elizabeth Webley, wife of Dick, killed on the job
Volunteer Speaker, Speakers Bureau
