Think First Foundation (helps to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries) for some info on helmet safety. Dr. Tator who is one of our neurosurgeons was the founder of this organization. Our job is to help reduce the risk of catastrophic injuries in both youth and adults through education. There are local chapters in the area (closest to us is Oakville) and they can do presentations to the class according to grade.
