The Fall Prevention Month is a call to action for all communities across Canada to raise awareness of fall prevention in older adults and children in their respective organizations/communities.
One of the best ways we encourage organizations to take action is by hosting events/activities to promote fall prevention. We have a category in both toolkits dedicated to activities you can « grab and go »
… and more!

You may find French resources and events on the French side of our website as well!
We are actively seeking more French language resources and resources developed for underserved populations such as First Nations.
