Walk this way in Canada

FedEx Express
FedEx is a proud supporter of Safe Kids Walk This Way, a global program that advocates for child pedestrian safety.

Safe Kids Canada, together with our sponsor FedEx Express® Canada, is pleased to offer the Walk This Way in Canada pedestrian safety program, aimed at reducing child pedestrian injuries and deaths while encouraging healthy and active living.

In Canada, pedestrian injuries are one of the leading causes of injury-related deaths for children 14 years of age and younger. By working together we can and have made a difference! According to Transport Canada, the number of child pedestrian injuries and deaths has slowly declined over the last decade! Safe Kids Canada wants to see the rates continue to go down because each fatality is a tragedy - most often a preventable one.Girl walking along sidewalk while holding parents hands

Pedestrian safety can be tackled from a variety of angles, and creative approaches. Our pedestrian program offers resources and tools for parents, caregivers, teachers and community groups who share our goal of enhancing child-pedestrian safety. We are pleased to share these materials and always welcome feedback.
