Richard & Peter

ONIWG leaders and longtime injured worker activists, Richard Hudon and Peter Page, recently embarked on a 600k bike marathon from Ottawa to reach Toronto by June 1, Injured Workers’ Day 2015. Accompanied by team member Pierre Le Blanc in the support vehicle, they met fellow injured workers in communities along the trail and sought out local memorials. Importantly also, they shared their own experiences and concerns about the current state of workers’ compensation system with members of the public to raise general awareness of how work-related disease and illness affect individual lives and the changes needed.

In this Operation Maple video, Richard and Peter discuss what “drove” them to undertake this journey.
