May is Injury Prevention Month

gun safety

Cree Public Health celebrates the Cree tradition of passing-on gun safety knowledge from one generation to another.

Listen to Cree fathers pass on gun safety tips to their sons.

What can be done to prevent injuries from guns?

Safe storage of all guns and ammunition is the most practical way of preventing injuries from guns. When leaving the bush, guns should be unloaded. On arrival back in the village, all guns should be immediately locked up in a gun cabinet with a padlock. Trigger locks can also be useful. Ammunition should be locked up too.
