The United Nations (UN) has estimated that 1,260,000 people will die this
year resulting from injuries received in a car crash. That means, 3,450 will die today
and each day of this year. The UN and The World Health Organization (WHO) have
instructed all member nations to do everything within their power to bring this
astounding carnage to a halt.
Canada has made some great strides in reducing road deaths, but there is so much
more that can be done. The key to the continued reduction in the number of road
fatalities is through the four “E’s”: Education, Engineering, Enforcement and
Evaluation. The key to delivering the four “E’s” is through dialogue and
communication, which will lead to a transfer of knowledge and understanding,
thereby achieving a heightened sense of awareness. People from around the world
can learn from the Canadian experience and Canadians can learn from others.
It is with this in mind, that the participating members of the third annual “Ontario
Road Safety Symposium 2006” announce “Collision Reduction, Through Research,
Technology and Innovation”. This event has received outstanding reviews from the
participants over the past two years. This year’s event promises to be even better.
“ORSS 2006” will focus on the four E’s” by dividing the 2-day symposium into four
quadrants. After opening remarks, from key municipal, provincial and federal road
safety officials who will paint the present Canadian road safety picture, attendees will
receive information in the areas of “Road Safety Education Programs for Children
and Youth”, “Policing Initiatives”, “Transportation Projects” and “Road Safety
Marketing and Messaging”. Presenters have been selected for their expertise in
each quadrant focus and will deliver both Canadian and International perspectives.
The goal of the organizing committee is that participants will leave the symposium
with a better understanding of what needs to be done in the area of road safety and
will share this knowledge with colleagues and the community. Please join us on
Wednesday September 13 th and Thursday September 14 th , 2006 at The Old Mill
Inn and Spa, Toronto, Ontario and help to improve road safety locally and around
the world. |
