ALSO IN THE WORKS …
Just a quick note to let you know that the JPMF’s “Complacent” documentary series project is moving forward.
The fantastic production team at Joe Media filmed the footage for the “Complacent” sizzle reel – a two-minute promotional video – in Calgary between Feb. 26th and March 4th.
We will share photos and behind-the-scenes action of those film shoots, and provide updates in an upcoming blog, as well as on our social media platforms. It’s exciting to see progress on this important project!
ABOUT THE JPMF
Following the death of Calgary Police Service Const. John Petropoulos in 2000, several of his recruit classmates (Cliff O’Brien, Glenn Laird & Joel Matthews) started the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund and raised funds through the sale of memorial pins to fellow officers. Subsequent pin sales, grants, casino proceeds, fundraisers, and ongoing donations continue to sustain the Memorial Fund. The JPMF is a registered Canadian charity.
The JPMF’s safety initiatives offer people tangible tips they can implement in their workplaces and on the roads to help ensure everyone, including emergency responders, make it home safely to their families.
The original mission of the JPMF was to raise public awareness about how people could ensure their workplaces, and the roads, were safe for everyone, including emergency responders. However, twenty years after John’s death, the statistics on workplace fatalities were shocking. Since John fell to his death in 2000, more than 20,000 Canadians have died as a result of their work – either from an injury or occupational illness. So we decided to broaden our scope to raising public awareness about workplace safety issues facing all workers.
Ultimately, we are committed to helping bring about a culture of safety in which all workers get home safely at the end of every shift. Because one fatality is one too many.
