As a part-time firefighter for more than 12 years, I have responded to many other types of emergencies, including vehicle accidents. The number-one cause of accidental deaths in Canada is vehicle accidents, with trips and falls second. Wearing a seat belt in Ontario is the law! Yet many people still […]
