13 We participated in a North American Conference on Youth Violence Prevention in 2009 (Orlando, Florida). We participated in national and provincial strategic planning sessions in road safety (Motor Vehicle Safety Institute in 2011) and injury prevention (Safe Communities Canada in 2011). We have attended national safe communities conferences in 2007 (Chatham, Ont.), 2008 (Winnipeg, Man.) and 2010 (Toronto, Ont.); also, we participate in national teleconferences on a regular basis with other members of the Safe Communities Canada network.

A DVD presentation was made at the conference to profile our community safety network. The DVD was viewed by approximately 6,000 delegates.
