May 18th marks the 2nd annual SAID (Students Against Impaired Driving) Day.

Educators, students, schools, businesses and community organizations are encouraged to proclaim, promote and participate in reducing the tragedies caused by impaired and distracted driving by getting actively involved in promoting SAID DAY on May 18, 2023

OSAID has created this event as a way to acknowledge and support the efforts of youth to reduce impaired driving in their communities. Whether the school has an OSAID chapter or not, students are invited to participate by planning impactful and engaging activities in their school. Activities could include safe and sober driving messaging as part of the announcements, an information booth set up in the hall, or perhaps shooting hoops while wearing the Fatal Vision Googles (simulating impairment).

To help make the day a success, OSAID is offering many free resources for your school including swag and display banners. Visit OSAID.ca to learn more.

Please see the video below for more information on SAID Day, or contact info@osaid.ca.

Save the date! Parachute Safe Kids Week is May 29 to June 4, 2023, with the theme of child passenger safety.

Safe Kids Week is an annual campaign to raise public awareness of child safety issues in Canada, encouraging community involvement as part of the solution. The topic of 2023’s Safe Kids Week digital campaign is child passenger safety.

Why passenger safety is important for kids
Car crashes are a leading cause of death and injury to children in Canada. When children are put in the right car seat or booster seat, they are well protected and less likely to be severely injured. Using the right car seat in the right way can reduce the risk of injury by up to 82 per cent and risk of death by up to 71 per cent.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian cities are moving quickly to advance policies that aim to confront inequities persisting from historical practices in urban planning.
