Six people die every day on Canada’s roads – National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims

On November 23, the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims in Canada is a day set aside to remember those killed or seriously injured on Canadian roads, often in avoidable collisions, and those left to deal with the sudden and unexpected loss of people they love.

The good news is that we can save lives. Last year, one life was saved every day because Canada is:

  • Increasing enforcement
  • Introducing new policies
  • Building safer vehicles
  • Changing road user behaviours
  • Improving our roads

But, even though the number of deaths on our roads is going down, there is still a great deal of work to do.

November 23 is your opportunity to remember the victims, and to express your support.
