#SaveTheDate #ZFT2018 #RoadSafety #Tour

​In November 2018, John Westhaver, native of St. Stephen NB, currently living in Victoria BC, will be returning to Atlantic Canada for his third annual Zero Fatalities speaking tour. John is the recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award and a the Coast Mental Health Courage To Come Back Awards. He has been speaking to audiences across North America since 2002.

Every year there are fatal crashes across Canada involving both our youth and adults. John is making a difference in communities across North America by sharing his story of the crash that changed his whole life at only 18 years old. He is passionate about changing the way we make choices while driving and being passengers in a vehicle. His goal is to end fatal crashes and the suffering that these fatal crashes cause in our communities.

What makes John’s story special?

John will share his story about being an impulsive 18 year old, not worried about the “what if’s”, and the choices he was making as a teenager. He, as most of us do or have done, was just living life to the fullest with a world of possibilities in front of him. We are all invincible in our youth, right? His story is impactful, and relates to the youth in a way many other presentations just cannot.

When John walks into the room, you will notice the scars on his face caused by the fatal vehicle crash from his youth. Through the course of his presentation, he will also share the emotional scars and impact a crash like this has on an individual, families and a community as a whole.

John was involved in a fatal vehicle crash when he was 18. This crash not only left John with life threatening burns to 75% of his body, but it took the lives of three of his close friends, one of which was his best friend. He has been through one’s worse nightmare and has made a miraculous recovery.

John talks about choices, the consequences of making poor choices and the power in making good choices. He shares with the audience the impacts of the choices he and his friends made on that fatal night. He also talks about the choices that he made during his recovery, that had him make the miraculous recovery, turning this tragedy into a triumph.

He is a passionate speaker who captivates audiences of youth and adults alike.

John helps students think about their options, and gives them something to remind themselves to be safer drivers, and thoughtful passengers.

Tour Objective

The Zero Fatalities Tour is the title of John Westhaver’s Atlantic speaking tour in coming in Fall 2016. The tour dates for Atlantic Canada are October 31, 2016 through December 2, 2016.

The primary objective of this tour is to educate and initiate better choices in order to end all Fatal Vehicle Collisions in Canada. In Canada in 2014, there were 1,667 fatal vehicle collisions and 1,834 people were killed. That is 1,834 families that will never be the same, holidays that will never be as joyous, and homes that will never be as happy.

When you hear of someone being killed in a vehicle crash, you never hear of the nightmare that the surviving family members go through. Some have a hard time picking up the pieces of life and some never overcome this and live with deep sadness, heartache and guilt.

The number of fatal vehicle crashes needs to drop to 0 and one of the best ways of doing this is to share the real human impact of a fatal vehicle crash.

John Westhaver was involved in a fatal vehicle crash when he was 18. This crash not only left John with life threatening burns to 75% of his body, but it took the lives of three of his close friends, one of which was his best friend. He has been through one’s worse nightmare and has made a miraculous recovery.

When you see him, you can see his facial scarring and that he has been through a lot physically. John talks about choices, the consequences of making poor choices and the power in making good choices.

He shares with the audience the impacts of the choices he and his friends made on that fatal night. He also talks about the choices that he made during his recovery, that had him make the miraculous recovery, turning this tragedy into a triumph.

John has been a successful Professional Motivational Speaker since 2002 and has traveled across North America motivating and inspiring audiences of all ages.

Why are sponsors needed?

John is committed to making a huge difference through his speaking. He has created this tour through Atlantic Canada and intends to stop at 10-20 schools, universities, colleges and business/organizations. Having a sponsored tour allows many companies, organizations and groups to stand behind John and his messaging. It allows this presentation to be available to those groups that would not normally have this opportunity because of funding restrictions. It gives sponsors a new way to make a huge difference in their community. 

Sponsored money helps offset the travel cost including lodging, car rental, fuel, meals and incidentals. All these cost add up on a tour and cut into the viability of having the tour happen. Your sponsorship will make the difference in having this tour happen and be a success. 

Why become a sponsor?

Become a sponsor because you believe in the power of John's work, this tour and the difference this tour will make in your community. Have this be another way you give back to your community and make it a safer place to live.

When you end fatal vehicle crashes, it reduces the financial impact on the community. Your insurance rates reduce, your medical and emergency services are freed up and thus reduces the cost through taxes. There is a huge ripple effect when you end fatal vehicle crashes.

Do it because you care and want nothing more than to give back to your community.
