DARTMOUTH\/EAST HANTS\/FALL RIVER:<\/strong> The RCMP in Nova Scotia is marking Canadian Youth Road Safety Week, October 20\u201326, with a powerful message aimed at saving young lives on our roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s campaign features a compelling local voice: 17-year-old Corinne Cameron, who is sharing her story of survival and recovery after a car crash in August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corinne was one of six youth in a vehicle when she was ejected during a crash; she was not wearing a seatbelt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pictou County native suffered a stroke and now lives with invisible disabilities. Her experience underscores the tragic consequences of risky decisions and the life-saving importance of seatbelt use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just back from working with two fashion designers at Paris Fashion Week, Corinne is using her voice to advocate for youth road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a spokesperson for this year\u2019s local campaign, she\u2019s sharing how one moment changed her life, and how others can avoid the same fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeatbelts save lives. I didn\u2019t wear mine, and it nearly cost me everything,\u201d says Corinne. \u201cI want other teens to know that buckling up isn\u2019t just a rule, it\u2019s a choice that could save your life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCMP officers across Nova Scotia will be conducting targeted seatbelt enforcement throughout the week, supported by digital campaigns, school outreach, and community engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign will also feature a youth-driven hashtag, #BuckleUpNS<\/strong>, encouraging teens to share why they choose to buckle up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sgt. John White of RCMP Nova Scotia Traffic Services, who responded to Corinne\u2019s crash, will join her in media appearances and school talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCorinne\u2019s courage in sharing her story is helping us reach youth in a way that enforcement alone cannot,\u201d said Sgt. White. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer voice is authentic, and her message is urgent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canadian Youth Road Safety Week is a national initiative led by Parachute Canada, focused on reducing preventable injuries and fatalities among youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nova Scotia, the RCMP is committed to keeping roads safe through education, enforcement, and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
