Rail Safety Week serves as a reminder that, every year, more than 2,100 North Americans are killed or seriously injured because of unsafe behavior around tracks and trains.
Every one of these incidents and deaths is preventable.
We all need to promote a better understanding and knowledge about the risks of being near railroad tracks. The North Vancouver Chamber fully supports CN’s efforts to ensure that residents and visitors in our community are safe.
BE RAIL SMART
Stop a safe distance from tracks and crossings
Look both ways to ensure trains are not approaching.
Listen for approaching trains.
