As I head out on holidays I am reminded of how important it is to treat injury prevention in a holistic way.

If you have been watching the "What's New" section of safesask.com you will already know that in April, WorkSafe Saskatchewan's Mission: Zero campaign officially grew beyond working to live, to living injury-free. With the help of this partner, Safe Saskatchewan is starting to make inroads in Saskatchewan - but it's only the beginning.

There are a lot of ideas for how Mission: Zero will extend itself into Saskatchewan homes. But while we work out these details, you can still make a difference now.

To change the attitudes and behaviours of all Saskatchewan residents, it all comes down to one person changing. You. We have an obligation as parents and grandparents to provide a good example when it comes to injury prevention. If we don't take these necessary steps, why should our children?

This summer I challenge you to adopt Mission: Zero as your own mission, your own quest, and put an end to unintentional injuries affecting you and your family.

I'll be doing the same in my upcoming summer holiday.

I look forward to hearing about your experiences upon my return.

Until then, farewell and keep safe.
