Injury Prevention

Every hour of every day, 65 people in Ontario are injured and roughly 11 people die each day from their injuries. Injuries, both intentional and unintentional, are the fourth leading cause of death for Ontarians of all ages, and the leading cause of death for those aged one to 44 years. Injuries cause a great amount of human pain and suffering to individuals, friends, and family members of those hurt or killed. (Economic Burden of Unintentional Injury – Ontario 2006)
