Friends and Families for Safe Streets
@ffsafestreets.bsky.social
We are people whose loved ones were struck and killed on #TODeadlyStreets, and injured crash survivors. We work to end Road Violence in Toronto and offer monthly Peer Support meetings. More info: www.ffsafestreets.ca + http://linktr.ee/ffsafestreets
The Compassionate Friends supports bereaved parents and grandparents. Today, our hearts are with every parent who has lost a child from road violence or any other cause. Child loss is the worst pain that life can inflict on any human being.

Your children are not forgotten. You are not alone.

We'll be in front of his other office today, the day the speed cameras go dark. Would love to have you join us for a few laps of our marathon!

Join Parents Against Speeding and FFSS in a literal marathon walk (42km) in circles around Doug Ford's constituency office. We're going to show him that we're in it for the long haul, and this fight is NOT over.

Join us for a few laps, or a few hours.

Join us Sun Nov 16 4:30pm at Queen's Park (South Lawn) for the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We are holding it at QP for the second year in a row because our govt continues to wage war on road safety, guaranteeing more violent death and devastation from car crashes.
November 11, 2025 at 11:34 PM
LOCATION UPDATE: Queen's Park, South Lawn
Gather 4:30pm for 5:00pm start

Yes, we're holding it in front of QP again, because our provincial govt is trying to kill people again. They've killed speed safety cameras, and are about to ban lifesaving road re-allocation for road diets + complete streets.

Immense gratitude goes out to every parent who joined us and Parents Against Speeding on Oct 20, fighting for kids' safety.

For over a year, our premier has been hell-bent on getting more people hurt and killed in preventable crashes. Now he's targeting kids. 😡

Keep speed safety cameras ON!!

📢📢📢CALLING ALL PARENTS ALL ACROSS ONTARIO!!! SHARE WIDELY!

Join Parents Against Speeding and plan a local event on Oct 20 to protest the shutting down of Ontario's life-saving school zone speed safety camera program. Tell Doug Ford it's wrong to care more about lawbreakers than kids' safety!
October 15, 2025 at 7:35 PM
While most of us are enjoying Thanksgiving (or struggling thru the grief of a holiday after a loved one was killed), Ontario's govt wants to strip away speed safety cameras in school zones.

Call Doug Ford 416-325-1941 and Prabmeet Sarkaria 416-327-9200. Tell em to keep the speed safety cameras ON!
October 12, 2025 at 2:44 PM
Well, well, well. 👀

📢DIRECT ACTION ALERT! SHARE WIDELY!
Join us to "circle the strollers" around the speed camera at Bloor and Dundas to protest our Premier's reckless attack on road safety. Tens of thousands of kids will be defenseless against speeding drivers in school zones!!

Watch our spox Kendrew Pape bravely share his story of losing his sister, struck in a crosswalk by a reckless speeding driver. If Doug Ford follows through replacing speed cameras with useless signs, more people will die.

Our spox Jess Spieker spoke with @rhiannecampbell.bsky.social of @citynewstoronto.bsky.social about the horrifying crash at Kingston Rd/Lawrence Ave E on Sept 21. With Bill 212, our provincial govt has functionally banned the installation of a lifesaving complete street to prevent hi-speed crashes.
September 24, 2025 at 8:10 PM
Very embarrassing when our premier reveals his ignorance, saying that we should go back to "big huge signs and big flashing lights." He should know signs don't work. Over 600 people killed in ON in car crashes every year - shouldn't he want to do something effective?!
