On this episode of Your Region Pod, we are looking at Community Safety Zones. What are they, why are they needed, and how are they enforced? The reality is that more kids than ever are being driven to school because parents no longer feel safe letting their kids walk, or ride their bikes. This has everything to do with the number of cars, and high rates of speed. In a sense, more cars have begotten more cars. In response to this, The Region is creating Community Safety Zones in areas with higher pedestrian volumes. To help guide us through the program we invited Valerie Smith, Director of Road Safety and Safe Mobility Programs at Parachute Canada. Leslie Maxwell from Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region. We also bring back Doug Spooner, the Interim Commissioner for Transportation Services here at The Region of Waterloo. We hope you enjoy the episode, and we'd love to know what you think.

What are the most effective strategies for preventing sport-related concussions in youth? What role do clinicians have in this arena? Dr. Erin Macri took advantage of Prof. Emery’s recent visit to the Netherlands to get caught up on the latest evidence in concussion prevention. Prof. Emery is a physiotherapist and epidemiologist. She currently holds an appointment in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary, with joint appointments in Pediatrics and Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, and is Chair of the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre at the University of Calgary.
