Our Fifth Annual 'Simulcast" at Ontario High Schools

I'm going to be up on that stage, like my dad, in a couple of weeks speaking to hundreds of high school students at once - live and via the miracle of video-simulcast, and I'd be lying if I said I'm not nervous!

I will be speaking at four different schools in the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, while my dad, Rob Ellis, speaks at other schools and our corporate champions talk to youth at still other schools.

Our 4th Annual Simulcast, held in April 2008, was the largest and most powerful safety outreach event undertaken by Our Youth At Work. More than 100 corporations sent their executives to more than 100 high schools in 50 cities across Ontario  to reach out to students about the importance of workplace safety - all in a single morning!!

You need to be there to feel the powerful energy in those school auditoriums as we share our personal stories about tragic, and preventable, workplace accidents and deaths, and as we answer the questions of teens who hunger for knowledge, and desire to protect themselves in the working world.

Every year our Annual Simulcast gets bigger and better, and who knows? Maybe we are saving more lives each year. We certainly hope and pray that is the case!
