We know that most injuries are predictable and preventable.
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.
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. Health Canada recognizes this date as an official national Health Promotion Day.
