Supporting the LifeQuilt

Generous organizations have signed on as full sustaining partners of the LifeQuilt. Each of these organizations has generously donated a minimum of $5,000 or equivalent in-kind services. 

Can you or your organization match this generosity? Can you help us lend humanity to the often, faceless occupational injury and fatality statistics? While giving has its own intrinsic rewards; just the same, the Friends of the LifeQuilt will recognize all those who give at the partnership level by:
  • Publishing the partner name on printed materials promoting the LifeQuilt
  • Publishing their logo on the LifeQuilt web site
  • Linking their web site to the LifeQuilt web site 
  • Presenting the partner with a visual reproduction of the completed quilt, signed by the artist
  • Providing them a beautifully crafted, burnished gold LifeQuilt pin
  • Providing them with the opportunity to showcase the LifeQuilt, subject to availability, once within a two-year period.

Occupational Health and Safety Council of Ontario
The former Council of Safe Workplace Associations has expanded and renamed itself to reflect its new role of providing policy leadership to Ontario's health and safety system. The OHSCO has as voting members the Vice-President (Prevention) and General Managers (Industry Sectors, Small Business) of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, the Assistant Deputy Minister (Operations) of the Ministry of Labour, and the CEOs of each health and safety association.
