January 25, 2025: Brampton Bill 212 Protest!

Our friends from Brampton have showed up for us, and now it's our turn to show up for them. Join us Saturday January 25 to directly target the Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria, who is responsible for this lethal nonsense of ripping out lifesaving Complete Streets and prohibiting them from being built. Meet at the Brampton Innovation GO station at 1:00pm, and ride to Sarkaria's constituency office. After a rally, a ghost bike will be installed in honour of all the future victims of the deadly Bill 212.

November 17 2024: World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

Join us at Queen's Park at 4:30pm for a 5:00pm start time. This event features speakers personally devastated by road violence, a memorial name-reading ceremony, and a candle-lit march around Queen's Park. Join us in demanding that the provincial government not pass Bill 212 and not rip out our safest and most-used complete streets, along with preventing safe streets from being built anywhere else in the province. If our safe streets are ripped out and other municipalities are not allowed to build them, more people will be killed in crashes that would otherwise have been prevented. It is horribly callous for our elected leaders to actively try to get more road users killed instead of building safe streets. FFSS members understand all too well the toll of inaction and regression on road safety. No amount of driving convenience is worth the anguish, grief and pain that has been unleashed on us in crashes caused by reckless motorists on dangerously designed streets.

We will provide memorial posters and road safety signs to hold, and battery-powered candles. If you have a battery-powered candle of your own, please bring it. Make sure to dress for the weather. Warm gloves/mittens make it more comfortable to hold signs.

If you have lost a loved one to road violence, they are not forgotten. If you have been devastated by road violence, you are not alone.
