The National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims in Canada is a day set aside to remember those killed or seriously injured on Canadian roads, often in avoidable collisions, and those left to deal with the sudden and unexpected loss of people they love.
The good news is that we can save lives. Last year, one life was saved every day because Canada is:
- Increasing enforcement
- Introducing new policies
- Building safer vehicles
- Changing road user behaviours
- Improving our roads
But, even though the number of deaths on our roads is going down, there is still a great deal of work to do.
November 17 is your opportunity to remember the victims, and to express your support.
Come back soon for more information on events and tools to help you observe the day in your region!

DISCLAIMER: The number of yearly fatalities on Canada’s roads and highways fluctuates from year to year and the 3,000 figure is only an approximation, used for the purpose of clarity and to simplify the message of the volume of casualties. It is based on approximately 2,800 recorded deaths in 2007 and an estimated 2,400 in 2008, and this number may change as Transport Canada receives updated statistics for 2008-2009.
