AGM and Guest Speaker in recognition of the Day of Mourning – Apr 25, 2024

Join with other members for a “Virtual AGM and Guest Speaker” on Thursday April 25th.  This date is just before the Day of Mourning, an important time to remember workplace injuries.  Following the AGM, Wynny Sillito from Threads of Life will share her story of a workplace injury that changed her life forever.

Wynny Sillito

Wynny Sillito is a Safety Specialist and retired first responder, who has had a unique and intimate experience with workplace tragedy. As a strong advocate for workplace & psychological safety, she seeks to inspire others by sharing the lessons she has learned along her journey dealing with the effects of occupational trauma. Throughout her career, she has been involved closely with a number of serious workplace incidents, but none has influenced her career more than her own personal experience with workplace tragedy.

On a winter day in 2011, Wynny went to work as a Primary Care Paramedic prepared to save the lives of others, but could never have foreseen the events of that day, and how they would change her life forever. She is here today as a volunteer of the Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support – known as Threads of Life – and its Speakers Bureau. In sharing her story, Wynny hopes to prevent other workers and their families from experiencing a tragedy of their own.
