  • Poison Prevention Week 2010   March 12, 2010
    Unintentional poisonings in BC are all too common, affecting more than 20,000 people each year, with half of those cases in children under 6 years of age. These alarming statistics make this year’s Poison Prevention Week (March 14th – 20th) campaign all the more important. The 2010 campaign -- Out of Reach… Out of Sight -- is aimed at creating greater community awareness and providing education to prevent poisonings, as well as offering first aid steps to take in the event of an emergency.
