A B.C. man injured on the job shares the lesson he learned the hard way with Okanagan students to prevent others from being hurt
Description
March 14, 2017
He was just a teenager when he was told he may never walk again. That was the disturbing prognosis after being injured on the job. But after three years of intense rehabilitation and physiotherapy, Nick Perry did learn to use his two legs once again. His story is powerful and as Klaudia Van Emmerik reports, he's now sharing it with Okanagan high-school students to promote safety at the workplace.
