The Oxford County Injury Prevention Team now has a new tool to get their message across. A 20 thousand dollar community event trailer has been purchased through donations and sponsorship to help them communicate injury prevention messages and increase their visibility with the county. Public Health Nurse Lorna Boratto says the trailer has safety messages prominently displayed on the outside and a driving simulator inside. "So they can drive and we'll be asking people, okay, text a message now and what impact does that have on your driving or reaching for a cup of coffee or fiddling with the radio dials, that sort of thing. Just as sort of a hands on demonstration and reminder what can happen if you drive distracted." "We can decrease our risk for injury and we know that 90-95 percent of incidents that cause injury are preventale. So what are the teachings, what can we do to decrease that risk." The trailer will be taken out to bike rodeos, the farm show and other safety events in the county. OCIPT is a partnership of representatives from Woodstock Police, Oxford OPP, Woodstock Fire, Red Cross, Ministry of Transportation, Oxford County Public Health and Emergency Services, MADD and Community Volunteers.
