National Teen Safe Driving Week

Oct 6, 2017 | 10:09 AM

National Teen Driver’s Safety Week is October 15-21.

We Want Teens to #GetHomeSafe Teen drivers die in crashes at a higher rate than any other age group in Canada. This year, National Teen Driver Safety Week (NTDSW) is building awareness of drug-impaired driving as an emerging issue, with cannabis being the drug most commonly found in young drivers who are fatally injured in crashes. NTDSW is also focused on distracted, impaired and aggressive driving, which are leading causes of teen driver fatalities. Join the conversation on social media, using the hashtag #GetHomeSafe.

Reminder: The deadline for the SGi/ABI Community grant is October 31.

Since 1997, the ABI Partnership Project and Saskatchewan Government Insurance have been involved in a joint program to provide community grants for traffic safety and other injury prevention programs. The goal is to enable community groups to establish, enhance, and deliver programs that address safety issues in their communities. SGI and ABI will provide support and guidance in identifying priorities and in the development and implementation of any of these initiatives.
