10th Anniversary Drowning Report
In 1991, the Canadian Red Cross joined forces with the National Association of Coroners, the Canadian Coast Guard, and public health professionals to provide a sound research base for development and monitoring of new water safety programs across Canada.
This document presents the pertinent facts on risk factors and prevention from a study of nearly 6,000 unintentional drownings and other water-related deaths, as well as for over 3,000 hospitalizations for near drownings in Canada from 1991 to 2000. Since innovative research-based training and prevention programs were introduced across Canada during 1994-1995, trends in deaths before and after this intervention are described.
