Although most Canadians are aware that road safety is a major issue, many are in the dark about how they can help. One great way you can assist with efforts to improve road safety in Ontario is by supporting the LCBO and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF). Until February 27, LCBO stores will be demonstrating their commitment to improving road safety by collecting donations for TIRF at their checkout counters. This is an excellent way to proactively improve safety in your community and throughout the province.
The LCBO has long been known as a socially responsible retailer that contributes to many important causes in the area. In fact, in 2014 they raised $9.5 million for a wide range of charities. They have also been strong supporters of many of Ontario’s government services such as health care and education through their yearly dividend transfer.
The LCBO is a major supporter of TIRF, an important Canadian organization that is dedicated to keeping roads safe. Donations gathered by the LCBO will help TIRF continue to offer road safety resources, educational services, and published information to governments, schools, legal and health professionals, and community groups. Because of their successful fundraising practices, in past years LCBO customer donations have allowed many of TIRF’s resources to remain free and helped Ontario communities to ensure that their roads are as safe as possible.
Your donations will also help support TIRF’s efforts to research strategies for improving road safety. Successful fundraising is crucial to TIRF’s ability to connect with law enforcement officials, media and others to get the word out about staying safe.

It’s also important to remember that while Ontario roadways are being improved by many organizations, accidents are still of great concern. If you have been in an accident, it’s important to seek legal advice right away to ensure that your health and monetary needs are taken care of so you can quickly and fully recover. Even if you have simple questions about your accident or injuries, a lawyer can help you better understand your rights. If you need legal assistance, speak with an accident lawyer.
