CrossRoads Conference, October 20 and 21, 2009, in Prince George, B.C. is a “must attend” for any individual, non profit, employer or employee, business owner or government agency. And there’s no charge to attend. Motor vehicle crashes are among the biggest causes of death in the oil patch, forestry, logistics and service industries.

This year's CrossRoads Conference theme is “Fit to Drive”, looking at the various human conditions that contribute to motor vehicle crashes, including:

• Aging & youth
• Chronic diseases and health issues
