Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 683 - Addressing Safety Solutions with Pamela Fuselli

Tonight on the Brian Crombie Radio Hour I interview Pamela Fuselli. An expert on preventable injuries about the organization in Canada working to address safety solutions both personal but also some interesting systemic ones. Pamela Fuselli is the President and CEO at Parachute, Canada’s national charity dedicated to injury prevention. Pamela was the Executive Director at Safe Kids Canada and, during her tenure, was one of the four leaders who successfully led a process of national consultation and visioning, resulting in the formation of Parachute which, this summer, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. We address: * Why is an organization dedicated to preventable injuries needed?* What are some of the leading causes of injury? * What are solutions to these causes?* What successes have you had? * Are there kinds of injuries that have decreased?
