CNC will be highlighting the importance of road safety through a new joint education campaign for international students.

The campaign kicked off at CNC’s Prince George campus with the premiere of three road safety videos featuring CNC international students.

“It is important to learn road safety rules anytime you’re in a new country,” said Barbra Old, Director of International Education.

“Road safety has always been a part of international orientation but have decided to make it the focus of an educational campaign this year.”

CNC decided to initiate this project following a recent tragedy involving one of CNC’s international students during intersession.

The videos target three key aspects of road safety including distracted driving, pedestrian safety and speeding.

According to Doug MacDonald, ICBC Road Saftey and Community Coordinator, distracted driving causes more crashes than impaired driving in our province.

“We’re proud to support this initiative to help educate drivers and pedestrians new to our province. We all play an important role in making B.C. roads safer,” said MacDonald.
