Scholarships for Students! Cash for Schools!

The Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission, in partnership with the Department of Education and Futures in Newfoundland and Labrador's Youth, is launching a travelling game show at the Arts and Culture Centre in Grand Falls-Windsor on October 3, 2008.

Every day in Newfoundland and Labrador, two young workers aged 15-24 are injured on the job. The Commission’s goal is to empower workers, especially youth, to take action, to help foster a culture of safety throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, where workplace accidents are unacceptable. SafeWork NL’s Who Wants to Save a Life? is one of the Commission’s strategies for reaching the province’s high school students with the occupational health and safety message.

Four school districts, involving eight schools, will compete for over $15,000 in scholarships and prizes throughout the 2008-2009 academic year.

Participating schools: Exploits Valley High, Lewisporte Collegiate, Elwood High, Corner Brook High, Menihek High, Mealy Mountain Collegiate, Carbonear Collegiate, and Mount Pearl Senior High.

SAFE Work NL's Who Wants to Safe a Life? is a fast-paced and energized game which will also be played at Arts and Culture Centres in Corner Brook, Labrador City, and St. John's.

There's lots of chances to get in on some really cool audience giveaways. Best of all admission is FREE!
