Thank you to all of the teams in blue T-shirts -- the volunteers who made it all possible. Thank you! We couldn't do this without you!
(Some friends of ours joined our Executive Director, Eugene Gutierrez, for a special Steps for Life walk at a milestone celebration conference! 🎉)
While the majority of our 2026 Steps for Life community walks have now wrapped up across Canada, the momentum continues.
As part of our National Online Walk, an incredible group of passionate health and safety professionals came together this morning at the @bcrspoffice 50th Anniversary Conference in Niagara Falls to help give Threads of Life one more push toward another impactful campaign year.
Even with the early start to the day, the energy, commitment, and heart from this amazing crew was on full display.
Much respect and sincere gratitude to each of you for showing up, supporting our mission, and continuing to champion a safer future for workers and families across Canada. 👏💛
Elom has been a key voice in promoting Threads of Life in every room she enters: as a Community Engagement Volunteer and a Steps for Life volunteer in both Sarnia and London. Thank you, Elom!

Threads of Life released the 3rd Annual #StateOfSafety 2026 Report, which reveals that while attitudes toward workplace safety remain positive, progress in reducing incidents and fatalities has stalled.
The findings point to a clear gap: organizations believe in safety, but too often fail to embed it into everyday practice. While the survey has some positive signals, it does not reflect the progress we hope for in health and safety.
“Awareness is not the issue, execution is,” says Eugene Gutierrez, Executive Director of Threads of Life. “We see strong belief in safety across Canada, but that belief must be reinforced through training, leadership, and culture if we want to see real change.”
As we wrap up national #SafetyAndHealthWeek and go back to regular life, we'll be sharing highlights from the report. Tap the link in our bio for the full report.
Recap from our Steps For Life walk in Edmonton this weekend! Huge thanks to our employees and community for showing up and supporting an amazing cause!
Over the weekend, our Fort McMurray and Enoch teams came together to participate in the Steps for Life walk, advocating for workplace safety and supporting families affected by workplace accidents.
Great job to our teams for raising over $15k, with Fort McMurray ranking top 3 in Canada and Edmonton ranking top 3 in the city! 🦺
Huge thanks to Leica for representing us today at the 5 CDSG Gagetown Annual Safety Expo!
It’s one thing to talk about safety, but it’s another to show up and engage with the community to make our workplace better for everyone. We couldn't do it without dedicated volunteers like you, Leica 💛
If you're at the Expo in Gagetown today, stop by the booth, say hi to Leica, and learn more about Threads of Life!
📣 NEXT WEEK! Join Mark Shelvock, a Registered Psychotherapist, as he explores some of the deeper questions that arise when life is disrupted; questions about meaning, post-traumatic growth, and the ways people carry love forward.

Thank you to everyone who donated and joined us on Sunday for the Steps for Life Walk with the King Krusaders; what a success!
We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and to be surrounded by so many individuals committed to promoting workplace safety. This event supports the important work of Threads of Life, helping families on their healing journey after experiencing a workplace fatality, life-altering injury, or occupational disease.
A special thank you to all the volunteers who dedicated their time, effort, and enthusiasm to make this event possible.
Together, we’re making a difference—one step at a time. 👣

We're riding into #SafetyAndHealthWeek on a yellow wave! 💛👟💛👟💛 While Steps for Life happens only once a year, workplace health and safety has to be an every day commitment. Together, we can create safer workplaces and communities, everyday, all year long.

Steps for Life — Threads of Life’s annual fundraiser walk — is more than just an event.
It’s a movement.
A community united in one powerful message: one [workplace tragedy] is one too many.
Across the country, people come together to honour lives, support families, and stand up for safer workplaces.
If you weren’t able to join a walk this year, we’d love to see you in 2027. And if you’re still looking to make an impact, consider making a donation — a simple way to remind those affected by workplace tragedy that they are not alone.
