Safe Kids Canada is part of a global movement called Safe Kids Worldwide. Our mandate is to address injuries in Canada itself, but we certainly work within the global context with our partners that have Safe Kids organizations in countries such as Germany, New Zealand, Uganda, Vietnam, Mexico, and Brazil. We come together face to face once a year, but we communicate more often than that, to share ideas and exchange opinions and solutions to issues. And certainly we build on the work of others working in other countries, taking pieces of information and successes that can be used in our own.
More recently, Safe Kids Canada is partnering with the Canadian Public Health Association in applying for a European Union grant to help support and build capacity in four countries: Uganda, South Africa, Tanzania, and Romania. So our mandate is specifically Canada but we do have outreach in terms of the international community.
