Overview
Picture your classroom full of students. This many young workers will be injured or killed on the job today in Canada. And tomorrow. And the day after that…
…on August 11, 1999 Candace was one of those students.
The step that almost ended her life set her on a journey of empowerment and triumph over tragedy. Candace is passionate about making sure what happened to her doesn’t happen to other young workers. The key to this is education. Education is empowerment.
Facts:
- regardless of a student’s interests or courses, they are all either working or will be working soon
- unless a student is in a workplace program at school they may not get a vetted employer or proper safety training
- all students need to be educated to know their rights and that they can be hurt at work
- it’s critical for students to know how to advocate for themselves and others
- safety goes beyond physical- we need to understand psychological safety and mental health in daily life and at work
Candace turns her own experience into relatable life lessons that inspire young people to take action – making safety personal and taking control of their lives.
Come hear Candace at this interactive and inspiring virtual keynote presentation on Thursday, April 3rd at 12:45 pm. Candace shares her story with humour and anecdotes that will help young people turn everyday choices into powerful opportunities to take charge their lives, safety and overall well-being.
