Thunder Bay & District Injured Workers Support Group
(Serving injured workers for 40+ years)
Date: April 1, 2026
Phase 1: Thunder Bay (12 weeks) → Phase 2: Ontario-wide (ONIWG) → Phase 3: Canada-wide
Cost: $0 (fully funded by 3mpwrApp)
Following the March 31st presentation at TBDIWSG, we propose an ongoing partnership to deploy the "3 Flywheels of Change" framework - starting in Thunder Bay, expanding to Ontario-wide (via ONIWG), then scaling Canada-wide.
Your audience asked three breakthrough questions that revealed the path forward:
Phase 1: Thunder Bay proof-of-concept (12 weeks)
Phase 2: Ontario Network of Injured Workers Groups (ONIWG) - province-wide deployment
Phase 3: Every province via their injured worker networks - Canada-wide coverage
Problem: Workers spend 40+ hours researching appeals, often making the same mistakes others made.
Solution: Share wins → Copy strategies → More wins → Better strategies
For TBDIWSG: Your clients search "fibromyalgia WSIB appeal" → see 73 successful cases → copy proven strategies → win faster
Problem: 156 workers fighting the same denial reason, zero coordination.
Solution: Detect patterns → Launch campaigns → Joint submissions → Policy change
For TBDIWSG: System detects "78% of Thunder Bay construction workers denied for same reason" → Campaign auto-suggested → 62 join → Joint submission to WSIB → Media coverage → Policy change
Problem: Every new worker starts from zero, reinventing the wheel.
Solution: Templates + AI recommendations + peer mentors = 39 hours saved
For TBDIWSG: User #1 spent 40 hours researching. User #500 gets instant template library + mentor match → 1 hour to results.
