Notice Board

There are many reported workplace fatalities in Alberta every year. As way of honoring those whose lives were lost and to help support loved ones left behind, the University of Lethbridge is once again participating in the annual Steps for Life – Walking for Victims of Workplace Tragedy event.

The U of L has participated in this walk for the past five years and once again we are challenging the University community to make our presence bigger and be a significant contributor in the success of the 2015 Steps for Life walk taking place on Saturday, May 3rd.  Last year the U of L contributed over $1600 dollars in sponsorship and pledges.

Please join our U of L ‘Luxy Loafers’ team.

To register as a 'Luxy Loafer' please contact Darlene Konynenbelt,  Darlene.Konynenbelt@uleth.ca (403 329 2190) she will gladly email you a participant package. The registration fee is $10 per participant. With the registration fee you will receive a T-shirt and refreshments. Deadline for registration is April 1, 2015.

This event is open to the University of Lethbridge campus community –students, faculty, staff and their families. Each year a team plaque is awarded for the team that displays the most spirit during the walk.  Let’s be the team that shines and brings the most spirit to this event this year. Let’s get out there and show our support and help make the 2015 Steps for Life Walk the best one yet!

Over the last five years, the annual Steps for Life – Walking for Victims of Workplace Tragedy event has been held in Lethbridge at Henderson Lake. This year the goal has been set to $65,000 with the hopes that once again Lethbridge will shine even more and be the number one fundraiser across Canada for this extremely important charitable event.

All proceeds generated from this event go directly to the Threads of Life, a registered Canadian charity dedicated to supporting families along their journey of healing who are living with the aftermath of a workplace tragedy.
