Transcript of Matt's Ad __________________________________ MATT: My name is Matt Sagan and I'm 22 years old. About seven years ago I broke my neck when I was training to become a camp counsellor at a local conservation area. ANNCR: How safe is your job? MATT: I'm in a wheelchair. It's not certain that I'll walk again. My parents, they were devastated by the news. ANNCR: You have a legal right to ask how safe your job is. MATT: Even though a job seems to be safe, don't be scared to ask questions. ANNCR: Call 1 triple-eight, 921- WSIB for the questions you should ask. MATT: My independence is pretty much gone - it's shot. __________________________________
