Drowning Prevention Research Centre Canada / Centre canadien de recherche sur la prévention de la noyade

The Drowning Prevention Research Centre Canada conducts scientific studies and develops evidence-based interventions to reduce drowning deaths and injuries across Canada. Based in Toronto, the centre focuses on understanding drowning risk factors, testing prevention strategies, and translating research findings into practical programs for communities, schools, and water safety organizations. The centre works with healthcare providers, policymakers, and public health agencies to implement research-backed approaches that address disparities in drowning risk among vulnerable populations. Through partnerships and data collection, the organization aims to make water activities safer for all Canadians by advancing the science of drowning prevention and supporting the adoption of effective, proven safety measures.
