Transport Canada > Hooked on Road Safety

Every 27 seconds someone dies on the world's roads.  40% of victims are under the age of 30.

Young people around the world are uniting to stop these preventable deaths.  If you would like to be one of them, or know someone who would be a good candidate, read on!

The Canadian Global Road Safety Committee is accepting applications from Canadian youth to participate in ground-breaking international and national events as part of Global Road Safety Week:

5 young Canadians will be selected to travel to Geneva in April 2007 to discuss road safety issues with their peers from over 120 countries and to help organize and attend the Canadian conference.

50 young Canadians will be chosen to participate in the Canadian Road Safety Youth Conference in Montreal in June.

The First United Nations Global Road Safety Week, April 23-29, 2007, is an historic opportunity to raise the issue of road traffic injuries to a higher level.

During the Global Road Safety Week, it is expected that hundreds of initiatives – local, national, regional and global – will take place around the world, organized by governments, nongovernmental organizations, United Nations and other international agencies, private sector companies, foundations and others working for safer roads. The week will be marked in countries around the world and by many communities. It is hoped the events of the Week will serve as launching points for new and effective road safety initiatives in the years ahead.

As the Canadian Global Road Safety Committee, we are working to support this important initiative within Canada.
