Discover insights and inspiration that will acti- vate knowledge and drive change at Workplace Safety & Prevention Services' Partners in Prevention 2015 Health & Safety Conference & Trade Show, taking place April 28-29 in Mississauga, Ont. With more than 60 sessions and 400 exhibits, Canada's largest annual health and safety event is charged and ready to deliver moments of discovery to attendees. Start with three keynote speakers, who have each pushed the boundaries of knowledge and imagination: • Chris Hadfi eld, former commander of the International Space Station, will set your expectations sky high. "We need to fi re the central fl ame of curiosity," says Hadfi eld. His sense of wonder and enthusiasm is an ideal launching pad for attendees. • Joe MacInnis, a self-described "acci- dental leader," studies leadership and teamwork in life-threatening environments. He'll share insights from his team's 7-mile dive into the Marianas Trench. • Michael Landsberg is host of TSN's Off the Record. Brash and witty, Landsberg considers reducing the stigma of mental illness as his most important professional calling. Hear his personal story at Partners in Prevention.
