Jordan was my first-born son—adventurous, inquisitive, and ambitious. He had many dreams, from becoming an archaeologist and digging up dinosaur bones as a child to aspiring to be an Olympic skier, dirt bike racer, professional bass fisherman, and racecar driver as he grew older. Tragically, his life was cut short on March 14, 2014, when he died in a preventable workplace accident in Firebag, Alberta, at the age of 21. Leica Gahan is a workplace safety advocate, a member of WorkSafeNB’s Injured Worker Advisory Committee, and a speaker with Threads of Life. Since losing her son Jordan to a preventable workplace accident in 2014, she has dedicated herself to promoting safety, prevention, and support for families affected by workplace tragedies.
The tragic workplace incident in December 2021 that claimed Preston Allen’s life serves as a painful reminder of the risks present in the construction industry. On March 4, 2025, the jury at a coroner’s inquest provided recommendations to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
