Parachute, Canada’s injury prevention leader, has launched the annual Canada's Favourite Crossing Guard contest to celebrate and acknowledge the important work of crossing guards across the country. The initiative aims to highlight how these individuals not only ensure children's safety while crossing streets but also foster a sense of community and encourage sustainable modes of transportation like walking and cycling. Since its inception in 2005, the contest has grown, with Desjardins Insurance joining as Parachute’s exclusive road-safety partner starting from 2022. The campaign emphasizes the critical role crossing guards play in injury prevention and community building.
