“I am passionate about instilling a safety-first mindset at a young age to create a ubiquitous safety culture which is what SiS is all about, stated Larry. They have an impressive track record making their free safety training and education programs inclusive and accessible by delivering them on all devices in over 100 languages. Their newest program, SAHARA is a very exciting app technology that incorporates mental health and well-being in the workplace to establish the risk level. I want to be instrumental in expanding SiS across the country so that all young people have access to these highly innovative and effective programs.”
Kim Adolphe, SiS Chairman and Co-Founder added that, “The passion that drives Larry is evident in the organizations he chooses to be involved in at this chapter in his life. His dedication to safety is unmistakeable in the work that he has done and continues to do. We feel incredibly fortunate that he has chosen to join our SiS team. Our mission is to be in every Canadian High School so we can educate and empower young people to stay safe at school, work, home, and at play for life.”
