Family Injury Awareness

Unintentional injuries impact everyone’s quality of life. Every day over 158,000 residents of Saskatchewan are injured each year and these injuries are all predictable and preventable. The average family of four spends $4,000 on unintentional injuries every year.

Saskatchewan families should not be willing to put up with this cost of pain and suffering. The solution can begin with you and your family. It all starts by becoming aware of your behaviour.

Check out the pages under this section for information and activities that are there to help you and your family become aware of simple measures you can take to keep your family safe.

You can also find helpful links on our Founding Partner and Endorsing Partner links.

Check out the Chiropractors'  Association of Saskatchewan's "Fit-in 15" website. This Safe Saskatchewan Endorsing Partner is trying to help busy folks squeeze a small amount of directed activity into their day as a manageable way to start a habit that can grow over time.

One Safe Saskatchewan Endorsing Partner has hit the YouTube screen to help inform the online communities about the importance of injury prevention.


Beginning March 31, 2009 SafeKids Canada began to spread their message through videos and video discussions on the SafeKids Canada YouTube Channel.

Topics include a variety of issues- from pedestrian safety, drowning prevention and booster seat safety to rural tractor ads and general public service announcements.
