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
