Wearing a helmet while biking, skateboarding, or using other active modes of transportation is not only a smart way to prevent injury, it’s the law – and now it’s also a photo policy at The Chronicle Herald. The newspaper will no longer use photos of persons who are not wearing helmets when required to by law. “This company will not be responsible for promoting brain injury,” said Terry O’Neil, managing editor.

Nova Scotia Health Promotion is proud to salute Sarah Dennis, Vice-President of Brand and Content, and The Chronicle Herald as a community partner that is setting an excellent example for all media – and Nova Scotians – to follow. Thanks for helping to make Nova Scotia a safer and healthier place to live.

Injury Prevention is one of six key strategic areas Nova Scotia Health Promotion has identified and is addressing to make Nova Scotia safer and healthier.
