It’s unconscionable to remove ASE an effective tool that improves road safety & saves lives. Research in Canada & internationally show a significant reduction in speed using ASEs. There are 100's of experts who can work with the ON gov't to adapt the legislation. Let us. #ParachuteVZ

“This is nothing but a tax grab.” Astonishing statement given the strength of the evidence that ASE works & the number of cities around the globe who have seen the lives saved. Follow the science, right @brenttoderian.bsky.social? www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Trigger warning. “In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.” Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” theprogressplaybook.com/2024/01/31/w...

Dr. Theresa Tam nails it when it comes to public health and the importance of prevention: it’s not a budget line, it’s an investment. Prevention is cost effective, supports health and wellbeing, and reduces costs on the health system and the workforce. cc: @parachute.ca @pfuselli.bsky.social

Safe Kids Week 2025 is focused on #KidsAndConcussions. Concussion prevention, among young children, means preventing dangerous falls from high surfaces such as furniture, down stairs & out windows. Older children? more concussions occur during sports & recreation activities. Info at parachute.ca.

At KITE labs @uhntoronto.bsky.social. This spaceship-looking thing is in KITE’s Challenging Environment Assessment Laboratory. The base can move a module (this one's the stairs lab) through any combination of 3 translational degrees & 3 rotational degrees. i.e., it rocks in any direction. #CFPC2025

Our attitudes about aging, and our biases against older people, affect so much, including efforts to prevent falls. Next up at #CFPC2025 is the panel Of a Certain Age: Ageism Awareness for a Brighter Tomorrow. "Ageism prevents prevention," says Jenna Wickens, CFS Counselling and Wellbeing (at left).

“Ageism prevents prevention” the #CFPC2025 panel on ageism.

Canada is aging rapidly. By 2030, 1 in 4 Canadians will be over 65. Despite being the fastest-growing demographic, older persons are too often sidelined. Check out what my colleagues at the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism are doing at lnkd.in/gsCZHZzd. This isn’t a future issue – it’s a NOW issue.
