National Injury Prevention Day is a day to raise awareness around the importance of injury prevention and aid Canadians to live long lives to the fullest through education and advocacy.
We know that most injuries are predictable and preventable: We need your help spreading our information on preventing serious injuries on the road, at home and at play.
Quick facts
- Every day, 48 Canadians die and 634 are hospitalized because of injuries.
- Preventable injury kills more Canadian children than any disease, and more youth than all other causes combined.
- 75 per cent of injury-related deaths are from unintentional causes, such as falls, car crashes and poisonings.
- Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, hospitalizations, emergency department visits and disabilities in Canada.
