July 6, 2026 – Canadian Injury Prevention Day

Injuries are a leading cause of death and hospitalization in Canada, but many can be prevented through awareness, education, and safe practices. Every day, injuries affect individuals, families, and communities, often resulting in long-term physical, emotional, and social impacts.

At Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority, we recognize the importance of injury prevention in supporting the health and well-being of First Nations communities. Whether at home, on the land, on the road, at work, or during recreational activities, taking simple steps to stay safe can help prevent serious injuries and save lives.
By working together to promote injury prevention and community wellness, we can help create safer, healthier environments for current and future generations.

Do not approach service dogs or stray dogs.

Teach children not to approach stray dogs, dogs with puppies, or working dogs.

Service dogs like Spencer are working to help their owner—do not pet or distract them. If you see a service dog without its owner, follow the dog for help.
