Steps for Life Virtual Event to Help Families of Workplace Tragedies

Sarnia, Ontario — The Sarnia Steps for Life event is a fundraising walk that helps families affected by life-altering workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths. This year’s event will take place virtually, and the online opening ceremony is on Saturday, May 1, 2021.

Participants can walk individually, or create or join a team, and walkers can walk wherever they’d like as long as it respects local public health guidelines. All participants who register on or before May 31st qualify for a chance to win a $1,500 VISA gift card.

Funds raised from Steps for Life support Threads of Life’s family support services which help more than 3,000 families throughout Canada. Last year, the event raised $440,000.

In Canada, close to 1000 workers die every year from a work-related injury or occupational disease and many more are injured.

Steps for Life is also doing a fundraiser with Plantables, a plant service that ships garden-ready plants directly to your home. For more information about the fundraiser, visit Sarnia Steps for Life on Facebook.
