National Injury Prevention Day is observed in Canada every July 5. Established in 2017 by Parachute, a national charity focused on preventing serious injuries, the day aims to highlight the significant impact of predictable and preventable injuries, which are the leading cause of death for Canadians aged 1 to 44. On this day, Canadian cities and towns are encouraged to illuminate landmarks in green to promote the importance of injury prevention. In 2024, approximately 80 landmarks across various provinces, including Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, participated in this initiative. Hospitals and medical centers engage in the NIPD Hospital Challenge to emphasize the financial burden of preventable injuries on the healthcare system, costing Canada $56 million daily. Individuals are also invited to share information on social media using the hashtag #ParachuteNIPD, with resources available on Parachute's website covering various injury prevention topics.
