2023/2024 marked 25 years of the BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit.
To mark the BCIRPU's silver anniversary, we hosted a full-day symposium on October 11, 2023. Speakers from different points in the BCIRPU's history spoke about the importance of injury prevention, their experiences working with the BCIRPU, as well as future directions.
We've created a timeline of the BCIRPU's origins, notable research projects, and influential points in time throughout the history of injury prevention in BC. Click on each link to view the timeline in PDF format, broken down into five segments.
