Reducing cannabis and chemical exposure risks in Canada: Strategies and resources for public safety (2024)
Unintended exposures to cannabis and to chemicals and pollutants in and around the home pose risks to public health and safety in Canada. Hosted by Sarah Macdonald from Parachute, this webinar will highlight two Health Canada initiatives targeting risk management and reduction in these areas.
First, presenter Sieara Plebon-Huff, Scientific Evaluator in Health Canada’s Office of Cannabis Science and Surveillance – Pharmacovigilance Division, will introduce participants to Health Canada’s Vigilance Framework for Cannabis. Participants will hear about data findings, key issues (e.g., pediatric cannabis exposures), and activities and resources developed by the program to help track and mitigate these exposures.
Second, presenters Odette Bose and Heloise Tachaeur from Health Canada’s Environmental Health Program will share outreach activities conducted under the Chemicals Management Plan aimed at helping people reduce environmental risks posed by chemicals and pollutants in and around the home. Participants will learn about the resources and tools used by Risk Communication and Public Involvement Officers to support public outreach and engagement for poison prevention awareness and chemical exposure reduction.

Drug checking: Harm reduction practices for unregulated drug use at Canadian music festivals (2024)
Each year, British Columbia is home to two of the largest electronic music festivals in Canada. At these events, drug use is an integral part of the culture and most attendees interact with drugs in one way or another. The death of at least five young adults in 2014 at music festivals in Canada, where drug use was likely a contributing factor, spurred a national effort to establish evidence-based harm reduction strategies for drug use at music festivals. Drug checking, a non-judgemental and nuanced chemical analysis of substances that allows people to know what is in their substances and potentially take action to reduce the risk of any related harms, emerged out of this work. In addition to potentially helping prevent substance-related toxicity, the analysis of drug checking data contributes to understanding of the types and contents of substances used in music festival settings.
Hosted by Sarah Macdonald from Parachute, this webinar will provide insight into the development of evidence-based harm reduction strategies at music festivals and share learnings from the implementation of drug checking, in particular. The webinar will include presentations from Antoine Marcheterre, Drug Checking Lead, Interior Health and Jarred Aasen, Pharmacist, Founder of Lantern Services and Co-Founder/Co-Author of the Drug Resource and Education (DRED) Project. A Q&A session will follow their presentations. With a focus on drug use prevalence and poison prevention at music festivals, the presentations will emphasize a philosophy of taking up non-prohibitive methods to keep people safe.

Safe Use of Mobility Aids Checklist (SUMAC)
Cognitive and walking problems are common and progressive in dementia, leading to impaired mobility, falls and fall-related injuries. people with dementia have an annual fall risk of 60 to 80 per cent, twice that of the cognitively normal, and have a higher risk of major fall-related injuries, such as hip fractures. One rehabilitation strategy for balance and walking problems is the prescription of a mobility aid (e.g. a walker). Yet, paradoxically, use of a mobility aid in people with dementia is associated with a three-fold increased falls risk independent of other factors. One reason for this increased risk of falls include limited insight on safe use of the aid.
In 2020, a new assessment scale, Safe Use of Mobility Aids Checklist (SUMAC), for people with dementia who use a 4-wheeled walker was developed by Dr. Susan Hunter PT PhD, Associate Professor in the School of Physical Therapy at the University of Western Ontario. The tool standardizes the assessment of the quality of the person’s walking and safe practices while using the aid to improve communication across disciplines and aid in care planning. The scale was developed through focus groups with healthcare professionals who have experience of providing rehabilitation to people with dementia. The SUMAC assesses nine tasks that our panel of experts felt reflected a core set of skills needed for people to evaluate independent use of a 4-wheeled walker.

Liste de contrôle sur l’utilisation sécuritaire d’aide à la mobilité (SUMAC)
Chez les personnes atteintes de démence, les problèmes cognitifs et les troubles de la marche sont monnaie courante et s’aggravent progressivement jusqu’à conduire à une mobilité réduite, aux chutes et aux blessures attribuables à une chute. Soulignons en outre que les personnes atteintes de démence présentent un risque de chute annuel allant de 60 % à 80 %. Il s’agit d’un risque deux fois plus élevé que pour les personnes dont les fonctions cognitives sont normales. Les personnes atteintes de démence courent en plus un risque plus élevé de subir une blessure grave causée par une chute, comme une fracture de la hanche. L’une des techniques de réadaptation employée pour traiter les troubles de l’équilibre et de la marche consiste à prescrire une aide à la mobilité (p. ex., un déambulateur). Pourtant, chez les personnes atteintes de démence, on associe l’usage d’une aide à la mobilité, sans égard à d’autres facteurs, à un risque de chute trois fois plus élevé. Le peu d’information sur l’utilisation adéquate de l’aide à la mobilité pourrait en partie expliquer la situation.
En 2020, la physiothérapeute Susan Hunter a créé une nouvelle grille d’évaluation appelée Liste de contrôle pour l’utilisation sécuritaire des aides à la mobilité (SUMAC). La grille sert à évaluer les personnes atteintes de démence qui utilisent un déambulateur à quatre roues. Susan Hunter est professeure agrégée à l’école de physiothérapie de l’Université Western (Ontario) et détentrice d’un doctorat. (Cliquez ici pour lire les conclusions de l’étude https://bmcgeriatr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12877-020-01865-5 – texte en anglais.) La grille permet d’uniformiser l’évaluation de la manière de marcher et de manœuvrer en toute sécurité l’aide à la mobilité. Elle facilite ainsi la communication entre professionnels de diverses disciplines et la planification des soins. La grille est le fruit de groupes de réflexion formés de professionnels de la santé ayant de l’expérience en réadaptation auprès des personnes atteintes de démence. La liste de contrôle couvre neuf tâches considérées par le panel de spécialistes comme étant les compétences de base pour évaluer la capacité de manier un déambulateur à quatre roues de façon autonome.

Ceinture de sécurité
Quand votre enfant fait plus que 145 cm (4 pi 9 po), le temps est peut-être venu de passer au simple port de la ceinture de sécurité. Par contre, si celle-ci ne peut être utilisée correctement tel qu’il est décrit ci-après, continuez à utiliser un siège d’appoint. La banquette ou le siège arrière est l’endroit le plus sécuritaire pour votre enfant jusqu’à ce qu’il ait 13 ans.

Conversations communautaires : Les enjeux de vieillir chez soi en santé et autonome – 2 février 2023
Nous discuterons ensemble des enjeux de vieillir chez soi en santé et de façon autonome. Il y sera surtout question de continuer de vieillir de manière autonome et de ce que cela implique pour vous dans l’immédiat et dans l’avenir.
Les conversations communautaires ont lieu grâce à une subvention versée par le gouvernement du Canada dans le cadre du Programme Nouveaux Horizons pour les aînés et au travail de cocréation pour les aînés, par les aînés. Elles visent à créer un espace de rencontre virtuel afin que les aînés puissent parler de ce qui les préoccupe le plus par rapport à vieillir chez soi en santé et en sécurité. En participant, vous aurez l’occasion de vous entretenir avec d’autres aînés de partout au Canada, de connaître les ressources auxquelles vous avez accès et de parler de votre propre vécu si vous voulez.
Les organisateurs des rencontres (c’est-à-dire des aînés et des représentants d’organismes au service des aînés) se baseront sur les points ayant émergé des conversations de la série pour adresser des conseils aux groupes et aux organismes voués aux aînés ainsi qu’aux divers ordres de gouvernement.

Change for Good Roads, Episode 1 – Sustainable Cities
Economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable cities are key components of healthy, active and safe urban roads.
Safe, healthy, and sustainable urban roads are only possible if we treat the underlying issues as a complex problem, one that involves not only urban planning, but also public health, engineering and other sectors, and retains a focus on inclusion, equity, sustainability, community and more. There are a range of evidence-based frameworks and interventions that guide global efforts toward safer, healthier, and more sustainable roads. The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 promotes the Safe System Approach and Vision Zero and sets targets and goals to guide us to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Through cross-sectoral collaboration, organizations and individuals would be able to make our cities both safer for all road users and healthier for all citizens.
Sustainable cities are ones that not only address transportation and the environmental impact, but also the social and economic aspects to sustainability.
Change is hard. Involve communities early in discussions about changes that will make their neighbourhoods and cities more sustainable to explore the rationale for changes, learn about their ideas, concerns and questions about sustainability.
Road safety is part of sustainable cities for two reasons. The first is that by improving the safety of roads for all road users, it will result in more people walking, biking and taking public transport. The second is by reducing transportation by motorized vehicles, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced.
Former City Councillor for the City of Toronto Mike Layton joins host Pamela Fuselli for an in-depth discussion. -

The brave new world of content creation: Connecting with our audiences in a saturated media environment (2022)
The average American sees up to 10,000 advertisements, brands, messages or more a day. Fortune 500 companies spend billions of dollars to get their messages heard. So, how can a non-profit with little to no budget break through and connect to their audiences, supporters and the public?
This webinar, hosted by Laurie Mosher, a Specialist in Poison Information at the Atlantic Canada Poison Centre, will feature a presentation from Mike McCormick from the Florida Poison Information Center on how organizations can be more effective in their health messaging.
Emotional content creation is the key for us to share our important healthcare messages. Sharing our story in a disciplined, disruptive and distinct manner is the key to getting above the noise. The fundamentals of producing clear, concise, clean and contextual messages are more important than the dissemination medium. This session will focus on a method of content creation to cut through the clutter.

Vision Zero Canadian Landscape 3.0 (2022)
In 2019, Parachute published the Canadian Landscape 2.0, which profiled 24 jurisdictions. This included reviewing the current status of all jurisdictions in the process of considering, adopting or implementing Vision Zero; presenting the key features of their programs, using a consistent framework of the five (now six as of 2022) Es of traffic safety (further described in Section 1); and discussing the successes and challenges faced by these programs with key stakeholders, as well as any advice they have for jurisdictions contemplating formal adoption.
This issue of the Vision Zero Canadian Landscape (3.0) revisits these jurisdictions and profiles new areas that have adopted or are adopting Vision Zero. This focus is responsive to earlier feedback from our Parachute Vision Zero Network stakeholders, who had requested a better understanding of how to approach Vision Zero, and the facilitators and barriers to embracing a systems approach to increase road safety and end road fatalities and serious injuries.

Why injury prevention is a key part of health care (2022)
Parachute’s President and CEO Pamela Fuselli interviews healthcare leaders about the role hospitals could and should play in injury prevention. At present, public health organizations are responsible for delivering injury prevention programs, while hospitals and trauma centres respond by providing medical care when injury happens. Traditionally, these systems have not worked collaboratively on a system level. Trauma centres may include injury prevention in their work, but how much and how well is not tracked or measured. In many cases, community agencies, public health units and trauma centres are effectively working with the same population but without connection, strategy, or goals. This space is messy, expensive, and ineffective. How can we do better together? How do we create a seamless or co-ordinated approach to injury prevention?

An interview with Jessie Singer, author of There Are No Accidents (2022)
Jessie Singer’s best friend died 15 years ago when he was 22, cycling in New York, and a driver hit and killed him. Singer, a journalist, also became a road safety advocate. Her quest to find out why society often doesn’t take effective action to prevent injury deaths has resulted in the landmark book, There Are No Accidents, published in February 2022. She spoke with Parachute’s President and CEO Pamela Fuselli about the book, which examines who is harmed most by injury in American society. Singer meticulously reviews data and interviews experts. “Accidents are not flukes or freak mishaps – whether or not you die by accident is just a measure of your power, or lack of it.”
Jessie Singer is a journalist whose writing appears in BuzzFeed, the Village Voice, The Awl, New York magazine, The Guardian, and elsewhere. She currently serves as Senior Strategist and Head Writer at Transportation Alternatives, the editor in chief of Reclaim Magazine, and the founding editor of the international Vision Zero Cities Journal. -

The Global Plan for the New Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030: What You Need to Know (2022)
The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 has been proclaimed by a UN General Assembly Resolution with a target to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries by 50 per cent by 2030, recognizing the gravity of this global issue.
The Decade of Action is underpinned by the Global Plan, launched Oct. 28, 2021, which aims to inspire and guide national and local government, as well other stakeholders who can influence road safety. Those include civil society, academia, the private sector, donors, community and youth leaders, and other stakeholders as they develop supporting national and local action plans and targets. Through advocating for the Safe Systems Approach and providing recommendations based on best practices and research, the plan is an important resource both within Canada and abroad.
The webinar will provide an overview of the Global Plan, including three parts of road safety action: what to do, how to do it and who does it. Panelists will also discuss how road safety needs to be integrated into other policy agendas such as climate action and equity, to increase its reach and influence. The webinar will also refer to Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2025.

Exploring illegal cannabis packaging, products and sellers (2022)
The legalization of cannabis in 2018 and cannabis edibles in 2019 was accompanied by regulation on cannabis production, distribution and packaging. However, illicit cannabis products continue to make their way into the Canadian market and consumers’ homes. Illegal cannabis products are often packaged to look like popular brands of candies, snacks or other food products or have more than the allowable limit of THC per package. These products pose a risk to Canadians, particularly young children who may mistakenly consume them.
This webinar, hosted by Parachute, will review the legal requirements for cannabis products, packaging and sellers in Canada and explore the impact of illegal products.

Les collisions routières : changer le langage pour changer de point de vue

Change the language, change perceptions: how we talk about road collisions (2021)
For many years, road safety advocates have argued it’s inaccurate to use the word “accident”to describe road collisions because that implies nothing could be done to prevent them. Thanks to advocacy by Parachute, the Canadian Press now has made this change to its Caps and Spelling style manual. Under the word “accident”it now reads: “avoid in reference to motor vehicles; prefer crash or collision.” A change in Canadian Press style means an enforceable change in language used in news coverage across the country.
Read the report detailing how we achieved this policy change and our plans for future advocacy.

Vous avez 6X plus de risque de tuer un piéton si vous le heurtez à 50 km/h qu’à 30 km/h.
Moins de la moitié des résidents canadiens considéraient les limites de vitesse réduites comme une stratégie de sécurité routière efficace dans notre sondage national sur la sécurité routière d’Ipsos. Pourtant une revue systématique de la vitesse d’impact a montré que les piétons heurtés par un conducteur roulant à 50 km/h sont près de six fois plus susceptibles de mourir qu’une personne heurtée par un conducteur roulant à 30 km/h.3.33 MB Video

Less than half of Canadian residents saw reduced speed limits as an effective road safety strategy in our Ipsos National Road Safety Survey; yet a systematic review of impact speed showed pedestrians struck by a driver travelling 50 km/h is nearly six times more likely to die than a person struck by a driver travelling 30 km/h.2.37 MB Video

La vitesse est un facteur dans un quart des décès sur les routes
Notre enquête nationale Ipsos sur la sécurité routière a révélé que seulement 22% des personnes interrogées étaient d’accord pour dire que les limites de vitesse devraient être abaissées pour rendre les routes plus sûres, et que la moitié des conducteurs interrogés avaient déjà reçu une amende pour excès de vitesse. Cependant, une recherche publiée en 2018 par la Traffic Injury Research Foundation montre qu’un quart des conducteurs étaient en excès de vitesse au moment d’une collision mortelle.

Conducteurs : cause numéro 1 de blessures pour les piétons, non pas leurs cellulaires
65% des personnes interrogées identifient les piétons qui marchent en parlant au téléphone comme étant le danger le plus important et 79% considèrent que d’envoyer des textos en traversant la rue est la cause numéro 1 de danger pour les piétons. Cependant, une étude de Transports Canada démontre que ce sont les conducteurs qui sont distraits, commettent des excès de vitesse et qui ne cèdent pas le passage qui sont les plus grands dangers pour les piétons.

Drivers, not cellphones, biggest cause of pedestrian injury
More people surveyed (65 per cent) identified pedestrians walking while talking on a cell phone as an increased danger on our roads than any other dangerous activity and 79 per cent chose texting and crossing the street as the no. 1 danger to pedestrians. However, Transport Canada analysis shows that drivers who are distracted, speed and fail to yield are the biggest danger to pedestrians.

Nous pouvons modifier nos routes pour les rendre sécuritaires pour les cyclistes
Notre sondage a révélé que seulement un Canadien sur cinq déclare que les routes sont sûres pour les cyclistes, comparativement à trois sur cinq qui disent que les routes sont sûres pour les conducteurs. Cependant, les routes construites avec des voies cyclables séparées et d’autres ajustements à la circulation, comme l’interdiction de tourner à droite aux feux rouges, réduisent considérablement le nombre de collisions entre les conducteurs et les cyclistes.

We can change our roads to make them safe for cyclists
Our survey found that only one in five Canadians say roads are safe for cyclists, compared to three in five who say roads are safe for drivers. However, roads constructed with separated bike lanes and other adjustments to traffic flow, such as no right turn on red lights, greatly reduces the number of collisions between drivers and cyclists.

What Impaired Means: Connecting youth and parents on cannabis impaired driving (2021) 
Since the legalization of cannabis in Canada, cannabis-impaired driving among youth and young-adult drivers has become a growing concern. In response to this issue, Parachute launched phase one of the #KnowWhatImpairedMeans public awareness campaign in 2019 to address attitudes and behaviours around cannabis and driving among Canadians aged 15 to 24. Since then, Parachute launched phase two of the campaign in 2020, which, in addition to targeting young Canadians, also targeted parents through a new component: the #HaveThisTalk campaign.
The webinar will focus on the second phase of the campaign, including an in-depth look at the development and key messages of #HaveThisTalk. It will also present campaign evaluations and key learnings.

Making a Vision Zero commitment in Canada
This paper, developed with generous support from Desjardins, provides national thought leadership on a practical implementation of Vision Zero in Canada.

By using an injury-prevention approach based in public health theory, the paper provides information not only on Vision-Zero-specific implementation but will also address the contextual factors that impact these efforts, such as community readiness. Tools created by Parachute and links to other tools supplement the paper by providing useful resources that address the needs of stakeholders at all stages of their Vision Zero commitment.

Engaging Youth as Community Actors: National Teen Driver Safety Week
Youth hold an important place within Vision Zero. For one, children and youth are among the most vulnerable road users. In Canada, young drivers die in crashes at a higher rate than any other age group[1]. Canadians aged 5 to 14 are at greater risk of being killed as a pedestrian than any other age group[2].
