Safe
Kids Canada launches national charter on winter helmet safety to help reduce
devastating injuries
Show your support
for the use of helmets during winter activities by signing the Vancouver
Charter on Skiing Safety. The charter is designed to encourage the use of
helmets in Canada during winter activities, such as skiing and snowboarding.
Research has shown that ski and snow board helmets are effective at preventing
head injuries. It is estimated that for every 10 people who wear a helmet, up to
six may avoid head injuries. Read the Vancouver Charter on Skiing Safety and show your
support today!

Safe Crossing
Program
November 2009
 Safe Kids Canada and CN are pleased to continue the
exciting tradition of the Safe Crossing Program! Since 2005, more than 270,000
elementary school children in Canada have participated and learned about rail
safety in the classroom setting! This year we've added some great new
activities. Safe Crossing Week takes place annually, and it's on right now! It's
not too late to register and be a part of it. Schools are invited to
participate anytime in November.
We encourage
parents to share these Safe Crossing Rules with their children.

 Unintentional
injury is the leading cause of death among children in Canada. We work to keep
kids safe. Safe Kids Canada collaborates with partners across the country to
conduct research, raise awareness, educate families, and advocate for safer
environments to protect children from injury.
"Injuries continue to be the number one cause of death for kids.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Giving parents practical and reliable
solutions to keep kids safe - that's what we do," says Pamela
Fuselli, executive director, Safe Kids Canada.
