This year, the BCIRPU was successful in educating over 300 elementary school children about brain and spinal cord injury through our Brain Waves program.
Brain Waves is a fun and engaging half-day neuroscience presentation that teaches students in grades 4-6 about the brain and spinal cord. Thank you to our trained volunteers, who brought the hands-on program—which includes activity booklets, helmet fitting tips, and Jello Brains—to the classroom.
The BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit is a leader in the production and transfer of injury prevention knowledge and the integration of evidence-based injury prevention practices in the daily lives of those at risk, those who care for them, and those with a mandate for public health and safety in British Columbia.
