Printable Version Safe Kids Canada

FedEx is the proud sponsor of Safe Kids Walk This Way, a global program that advocates child pedestrian safety. In Canada, FedEx supports Safe Kids in its mission to help reduce pedestrian injuries to children across Canada. We provide funding to help them educate children about pedestrian safety, encourage motorist awareness about school zone safety and provide long-term support to communities by making neighbourhoods and school zones more 'walkable'.

FedEx helped Safe Kids develop a pedestrian safety resource guide for communities and launch a grants program that enables Safe Kids organizations across Canada to address pedestrian issues by developing strategies that are multi-faceted and can be tailored for different communities.

We also sponsor the annual Crossing Guard of the Year Award which is designed to raise awareness about the important role crossing guards play in preventing traffic injuries. The contest encourages schools, students, teachers and parents from across Canada to nominate exceptional crossing guards in their community.

Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among children in Canada. For more information, contact Safe Kids Canada at 1.888.SAFE.TIPS or visit safekidscanada.ca.
