WELCOME

On behalf of the Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) and the Manitoba Section of ITE Canada, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Winnipeg, located on Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional lands of the Anishinabe, Ininew, and Dakota peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Metis.

It is an honour to co-chair the first joint conference of ITE Canada and CARSP. Our technical program is centered on the theme of Road Safety: Creating Impact through Diversity. Much of the program touches on diverse approaches to enhancing safety, sustainability, and equity in the face of complex and competing priorities.

Winnipeg is a diverse and beautiful city. It is also a place where the impacts of systemic inequities exist and are often visible. Throughout the conference, we encourage you to reflect on how our profession can impact quality of life, equity, and human rights—whether that be during the kickoff keynote on Partnerships to Prioritize Safety and Equity, the keynote panel discussion on equity and road safety, the biking and walking tours in downtown Winnipeg, or while touring galleries at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights during the annual banquet. We also encourage you to reflect on whose voices and experiences are missing from the discussion.

We hope you leave with new connections and diverse ideas that will help expand your impact on safe mobility wherever you work.

Your ITE Canada/CARSP 2023 Conference Co-Chairs,

Rebecca Peterniak

Canada’s community of transportation professionals

Getting together with colleagues and friends from across our industry is one of the highlights of my year! This year, we are excited to partner with the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professionals (CARSP) for our 2023 Annual Conference. Our theme is Road Safety: Creating Impact through Diversity. As transportation professionals, we play a critical role in ensuring that our transportation system is safe and accessible for all users. Our diversity is what makes us stronger, and I am proud of our organizations coming together to learn from each other in this area.

We have a jam-packed program of activities for you, including our traditional ITE Canada events such as the student mixer, collegiate traffic bowl, and street hockey tournament. We will also be spending some time discussing how our organization can continue to meet the needs of our members through focused roundtable discussions. I hope you enjoy meeting up with old friends, making some new ones, and learning from each other this week!

Thank you to the City of Winnipeg for being such a great host and to Tourism Winnipeg for welcoming us to your beautiful city. Finally, on behalf of the ITE Canada Board of Directors, we extend our great appreciation to the ITE Manitoba Section and our Local Arrangements Committee who have demonstrated the strong partnership between ITE Canada and CARSP in planning this exceptional conference.

On behalf of the CARSP Board of Directors, I would like to welcome all delegates to this year’s conference by saying Nimiyeeyihtenaan ee-waapamitaahk! (welcome, in Michif, language of Metis peoples). We are thrilled to partner with ITE Canada to put on this joint annual event based on our shared values and our desire to bring people together and learn from one another.

CARSP is a multi disciplinary organization with membership from various fields of knowledge including public health, policy development, law enforcement, injury prevention, behavioural psychology, and engineering, to name a few. This lends itself well to the conference theme of Road Safety: Creating Impact through Diversity. With 2021-2030 being the Second Global Decade of Action for Road Safety, this conference is an opportunity to leverage the diverse expertise of our members for solutions to reduce fatalities and serious injuries across Canada and the associated impacts they have on families and communities.

Ryan Vanderputten President, ITE Canada

We say Maarsii! (thank you) to the City of Winnipeg for hosting us and to all the event sponsors for your support. I can’t think of a better way to end my term as CARSP President than to come together with friends and colleagues from across Canada and beyond, take in some interesting sessions, enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful city, and create what will hopefully be some lasting memories and connections. Enjoy the next few days, and I look forward to meeting you!
