Week 2 ~ July 10-16 ~ This week's focus: Safety

My course notes state that injury is the leading cause of death in Canada for children and young adults. Wow, I didn't know that, did you?

Injuries are also often called “accidents” and the notes say that  this term is misleading as many injuries can be prevented. In fact, just a day ago, an 18-month old toddler was killed in her own driveway (perhaps due to the lack of attention paid by the adults present at the scene).  This fatality could have been prevented, just like many accidents can be prevented.

So this week's focus is on safety, so keep reading my blog as safety is a real concern, especially in view of the summer's rising temperatures.
