Failing to recognize we can act to prevent the epidemic of injury can be compared to the days when people routinely died before understanding germs and the causes of disease, says an editorial in the Oct. 13 Halifax Chronicle Herald. The newspaper lauds the injury prevention efforts of the Red Cross, Safe Kids Canada, ThinkFirst, Safe Communities Canada and SMARTRISK.
Representatives from the injury groups met with the editorial board of the Chronicle Herald during the kickoff to the Be Visible, Be Certified campaign that aims to get many more Canadians certified in first aid and CPR.
