The BC Injury Prevention Centre launched its' vision of injury-free living programs in Elementary and Secondary Schools in the Spring of 1989 in Vancouver reaching ten thousand Students. Fast forward to 2007, our injury prevention programs have expanded to several new media platforms including our Web Site, the Intranet including You Tube and Google, and Television Advertising reaching hundreds of thousands Students at home and abroad.
The BC Injury Prevention Centre's lifesaving injury prevention program, "The Spirit To Survive", introduces Students to 4-Key Survival Skills that incorporates a conceptual approach to injury-free living. Our World-Class Professional Athletes support the application of this concept with dynamic, interactive presentations that visually express their life experiences and survival skills!
