London, Ontario, 31 July 2012 — On May 6, 2012, local businesses and organizations from across the country issued a ‘Corporate Challenge’ – to encourage staff and others to show their commitment to workplace health and safety in Steps for Life – Walking for Families of Workplace Tragedy. The annual fundraising walk supports the Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support (known as Threads of Life), a registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing peer support programs and services to families affected by a workplace fatality, life-altering injury and occupational disease. Two Alberta-based businesses took the top three slots for most funds raised* in the inaugural Corporate Challenger event. Two teams from Alta-Fab Structures collectively raised $11,630 in Edmonton and Team Sass in Fort McMurray came in third place by raising $1,765. <a href="http://threadsoflife.ca/alta-fab-2012-corporate-challenge-winners/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
