Injury Prevention & Safety

Information for Families

Canadian Youth Road Safety Week, October 20 – 26, 2024

Injury Prevention & Safety

Road crashes are the third-leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 24 in Canada, making youth some of the most vulnerable on our roads.
Safe roads are not a fairy tale.

Proven strategies exist that can dramatically reduce injuries and deaths, creating roads where everyone can travel safely.


What Can You Do?

Be the change on your streets.

Whether you walk, bike, skate, take public transit or drive, the roads you use every day play a huge role in keeping you safe – or putting you at risk. That’s why for Canadian Youth Road Safety Week 2024, Parachute wants to hear from you about how our roads can be safer for everyone.
