The #KnowWhatImpairedMeans project was a public awareness campaign aimed to educate Canadians that cannabis impairs a person’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
This paper, developed with generous support from Desjardins, provides national thought leadership on a practical implementation of Vision Zero in Canada. It briefly summarizes the roots of Vision Zero and the current status of Vision Zero across Canada. It also provides a high-level review of Vision Zero and road safety frameworks from Canada and internationally. 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.
