Prevent Train Deaths Once again, we are saddened by the news about children being killed while playing on train tracks. Four fatal fatal train accidents have occurred in Eastern Ontario in the past two weeks, two of these involved children. From January 1 to August 26, 86 accidents involving trains claimed 23 lives and caused 55 injuries in Ontario. Unfortunately, children are drawn to trains, and accidents such as this happen all too often. There is no foolproof foolproof way to prevent children from staying away from the tracks, but there are measures that parents can take. One of these is conducting a SAFETY WALK. SAFETY WALK is part of The War Amps, PLAYSAFE Program. It was initiated-when we saw far too many children enrolling in our Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program each year after losing limbs in accidents that could have been avoided. SAFETY SAFETY WALK involves taking their children, children, or groups of neighbourhood children, on a walk around their neighbourhood to point out dangerous areas that should be avoided, such as train tracks, busy intersections, hydro lines, and so on. A SAFETY WALK is very simple to do and could prevent a serious accident. Anyone interested in conducting a SAFETY WALK can contact The War Amps at 2827 Riverside Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1V 0C7, to get a SAFETY WALK kit, which includes instructions and important safety tips. Yours sincerely, H.C. Chadderton, OC, DCL, O. Ont. Chief Executive Officer I hope my readers always find this column relaxing and informative.
