Canadian families with small children

Parachute and Hydro One are urging Canadian families with small children to #FallProofYourHome by using a checklist to address key hazards that have been proven to cause serious injuries for children in the home. Download Checklist.

Now in its 23rd year, Safe Kids Week, sponsored in Ontario by Hydro One, is an annual public awareness campaign to raise awareness about preventable childhood injuries. Safe Kids Week runs from June 3 to 9, 2019 and will focus on how parents and caregivers can prevent serious injuries from child falls.



Each year in Ontario, 50,000 children visit the emergency department for fall-related injuries.


To date, more than 150 community partners across Canada are joining us for Safe Kids Week. Together, Parachute and Hydro One have provided more than 115 enhanced toolkits to run community events in Ontario.
