with over 90 different organizations, which benefited from the TFC initiative. Nancy Gagnon, Manager of Maison Jacques Ferron, a shelter for people with serious mental health difficulties, said, “We are very lucky and spoiled to benefit from the extraordinary generosity and precious help of Holcim Canada’s employees. With the Together for Communities initiative this year, Holcim Canada employees have volunteered for more than 1000 hours to help us renovate the centre. We are really thankful.” Holcim Canada and its Ontario divisions, Dufferin Aggregates, Dufferin Concrete and Dufferin Construction, along with employees, local business partners, elected officials and other community stakeholders attended a special reception at the Holcim Gallery, Milton Centre for the Arts, on November 29. The event was the culmination of a three day public photo exhibit held in honour of contributions from employees, their family, and friends to the Together for Communities initiative that featured scenes from over 3500 Holcim Canada employee volunteer acts. In attendance were several of the community organizations and municipalities that sup-
February 2013 ported and benefited from the TFC initiative. “It is extremely important to have committed partners in the community—the kind that you can count on to pitch in for a local Habitat for Humanity build, join volunteer committees, support local families in need,” said Stewart Hardacre, President and CEO, Habitat for Humanity Canada. “By adding volunteerism to their corporate giving program, Holcim Canada is providing its employees and partners in the Together for Communities initiative a very personal experience - a chance to see first-hand the value of their contributions and the difference it can make.” “I am extremely proud of the efforts of our employees, to give of their time, and for being committed to giving back to the communities where we operate. I want to thank our various partners in the community who supported this initiative and helped us achieve such great things this year. We look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come, and to find even more ways that we can contribute to building healthy, vibrant and liveable communities,” said Paul Ostrander, President & CEO, Holcim Canada. b

Kubota Engines Meet T4 Standards
In order to comply with the new standards, Kubota utilized a variety of technologies such as Common Rail System, an electronic fuel injection system, for optimization of combustion processes, Exhaust-Gas-Recirculation Device (EGR)*3 and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)*4 for improvement of emission performance . These technologies will bring more durable, quieter and fuel efficient engines with minimal impact to the engine package for ease of installation into OEMs machines. In additional to the above, Kubota also developed and introduced a new emission-compliant diesel engine (engine output range between 19 to 37kW), which utilizes Kubota’s proprietary “TVCS”*5 combustion system and unique DPF regeneration system. Kubota also obtained EPA and CARB certifications for diesel engines with an output range below 19kW. Of special note is that Kubota obtained the emission certifications without adding new devices, but with further optimization and improvement of

Powerscreen XH320Sr impresses logan Aggregate recycling inc. The Powerscreen XH320SR impact crusher is helping Logan Aggregate Recycling Inc. to meet increased demand in a compact, fuel efficient package. Founded by husband-andwife team Joe and Michelle Logan in the spring of 2010, the company began as a service. “The popularity of recycled aggregates is growing, but local suppliers of these aggregates previously had to rely on contract crushing companies from as far away as Pennsylvania and Ohio,” Joe Logan said. “I have always been a firm believer in doing business in person, with our customers and employees alike. We have tried to focus our service area within a two to three hour radius from Richmond in order to always have a management presence on our projects.” Logan noted that he grew up in the industry working at a construction equipment dealership that
his grandfather started. Working in all areas of the company gave him valuable experience with operating equipment in addition to the opportunity to build extensive relationships within the industry. Logan recently purchased a Powerscreen XH320SR impact crusher from Jeff Ford, Regional Manager of Northern and Central Virginia at Powerscreen Mid Atlantic Inc. “The XH320SR is a great machine,” Ford said. “It is an upgraded version of the Powerscreen 4242SR. A couple of the upgrades include a larger crushing chamber and the Scania engine. The closed circuit machine gives the customer the advantage to transport the machine all in one move to small and tight job sites. The XH320SR is a high-performance machine and is rated at 320 tph.” Logan’s purchase of the machine was in order to offer customers a solu-
tion for processing materials at plant locations where space is limited. “More and more, we are seeing that asphalt and concrete producers are using every inch of available space in their plants,” he explained. “The 320SR is a closed circuit machine, meaning that the crusher, screen and re-circulating conveyor are all mounted on one track-mounted chassis. The finished product is then conveyed to a stockpile by a track-mounted stacking conveyor. This significantly reduces the footprint of our operation and allows customers to use their real estate for stockpiling material and loading trucks. Additionally, we can move the set-up around the site very quickly and easily.” The machine has been in service for Logan Aggregate Recycling since mid-February and has already logged approximately 1,000 hours. “We have been very impressed with the fuel
economy of the Tier IVinterim compliant Scania engine,” Logan said. “We also try to practice good housekeeping, and we can walk the 320SR out of the way, clean and grade the working area, and be set up again and ready to run in a matter of minutes.” Although Logan has rented equipment from Powerscreen Mid-Atlantic in the past, this machine was their first purchase from the company. “I met Joe Logan while he was using a competitor’s machine,” Ford said. “When he decided that he was going to purchase another crusher, I took him to see the XH320. Joe immediately saw value in the crusher. The Powerscreen crusher was more expensive, but Joe recognized the quality and realized that we could offer him a higher level of support than any other dealer in Virginia.” Logan has not been disappointed. “We have been extremely pleased with their support,” he said. “Parts and wear items have been in stock, or shipped the next day. Their service technicians also are extremely knowledgeable and professional.” b

BX500 Blusteel Cutting Edges Product The new BX500 BluSteel cutting edges are made for graders and plows working in gravel, dirt, and hard packed snow and ice. Made from premium Swedish Wear-X steel, 500 Brinell through hardened and weigh approximately 8.5 pounds per foot versus 15 pounds for conventional grader edges. The BX500 design allows the teeth to stay sharp and provide maximum cutting at all times. 75% of the BX500 blade is usable wear steel before replacement is needed, compared to 35-65% wear steel for conventional grad-
er edges. The BX500 edges are a universal fit for all graders and conditions. They are easily mounted and adjusted on the roadside with minimal hand tools which means less down time and increased productivity. With the lower down force, the BX500 attains huge fuel saving, reduced tire and hydraulics wear and less operator fatigue. The BX500 also removes wash boarding, while the grooves left on the road allow for increased traction. The salt and sand remain in place and stay effective for longer periods of time. b

m.E.E.P. Program recognized With Community recognition Award The City of Saint John has won a “Community Recognition Award” for its Municipal Energy Efficiency Program (MEEP), the first program of its kind in Canada. The award was announced by Bruce Fitch, Minister of Environment and Local Government in December. The Village of Beresford also won an award. The award serves to recognize community programs and promote best practices and leadership in the municipal sector. “Sustainable infrastructure has been identified as a priority of Common Council. This program ensures that our City facilities are built and run in an energy efficient manner,” said Mayor Mel Norton. “This results in tremendous benefits for the environment in significant financial savings.” The MEEP was established in 1997 as Saint John’s environmental and fiscal code. Saint John was the first city in the country
to establish such a program. The City hired an engineer to develop, manage and implement the energy management program. Energy efficiency is now ingrained in operations within the City itself. Efforts have been spread across all areas of operations and include retrofits to arenas, waste water treatment facilities, and street lights. The program has been very successful in terms of reducing energy use and GHG reductions. It is estimated that the total annual energy savings as of 2011 is $1.8M with an annual reduction of 6,300 tonnes in GHG emissions. The City has also been able to leverage the MEEP to obtain Green Municipal Funds through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). In total grants and loans, The City of Saint John has been awarded GMF funding to complete the Canada Games Aquatic
Centre Energy Efficiency retrofit ($1.79M in GMF funding), the Saint John Transit Commission New Construction LEED Silver Transit and Operation Centre ($4.4M in GMF funding), and LEED certified Police Headquarters ($11M in GMF funding). Over 90 City facilities are covered under the MEEP. These include arenas, community centers, pumping stations and office buildings. The latest technology in heating, lighting, ventilation and air conditioning, HVAC, refrigeration, heat recovery and building envelope systems has been installed throughout City buildings. The program has won a number of awards including: a Premier’s Award for Energy Efficiency, a Commercial Energy Efficiency Champion from Efficiency NB, a Milton F. Gregg Conservation Award from the Conservation Council of NB, and a M. Hill Sustainable Community Award from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The program was also highlighted as part of the City’s Top 7 Intelligent Community of the Year application. b

Cummins Honours Seven Employees With Dr. Julius Perr Award Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) has honoured seven employees with the Company’s highest technical award for their work on two inventions that have yielded significant advancements in engine components. Mark D. Akins, Bryan W. Milburn, Dennis M. King and Greg M. Pataky were recognized for their work to improve turbocharger technology on Cummins’ midrange engines. The group patented an innovation that allowed Cummins to control turbo speed without the use of a real speed sensor by using a virtual speed sensor for the Chrysler Ram pickup. The virtual speed sensor improved quality and also reduced the need for several engine components, resulting in increased reliability for Cummins engine customers. Steven M. Bellinger, Brian C. Tyler and John F. Kalill received the 2012
, AB
Perr Award for developing a system and method for estimating vehicle mass, which enabled Load Based Speed Control (LBSC). This speed control methodology proves beneficial in many ways. For customers, the speed control system allows increased fuel conservation, reducing costs for drivers, and it significantly reduces emissions and noise of the trucks. In a nine-year period from 2003-2011, fleet owners using Cummins power saved approximately $312 million of fuel savings due to a reduction in approximately 81 million gallons of fuel used for the fleets. Over the same nineyear period, this equates to a reduction of CO2 emissions by 825,000 metric tons or to the equivalent of taking 152,000 cars off the road. Both projects honoured in 2012 have had a significant impact on the Company, the industry and the
, ON
environment, and the work exemplifies the spirit of the late Dr. Perr, who was responsible for many of the innovations that have made Cummins a leader in diesel technology. “These seven individuals represent Cummins well and epitomize Dr. Perr’s legacy — making Cummins stronger through innovation,” said John Wall, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer. “Cummins continues to be a market leader because of our commitment to innovation. These specific inventions are great examples of what we call ‘Innovation You Can Depend On’. They are not just clever ideas — they have created significant value for our customers and for Cummins. That is a key criterion for our selection of Perr Award winners each year and it’s what our customers expect of all of us all the time.” This prestigious award was created to honour Dr. Perr, who was named as the inventor or co-inventor of 80 U.S. patents. Dr. Perr, who died in 2005, joined Cummins in 1958 after fleeing Communist Hungary. b

New Bridge Between Windsor & Detroit 2 - 20 TON HEAVY DUTY FARM DUMP TRAILERS
QUALITY PRO
DUCTS AT AF
By Mark Wolfe The construction industry is expected to receive a major economic boost in the coming years as a result of last summer’s governmental approval for the creation of a new bridge, border plazas, and access routes connecting the border between Windsor and Detroit. Known as the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC), the new bridge will be located approximately three kilometres west of the Ambassador Bridge. In addition to the DRIC project, the Herb Gray Parkway (formerly the Windsor-Essex Parkway) is currently under construction, and will connect Highway 401 to the new bridge. The entire project will cost $3.5 to $4 billion to complete. The new border crossing is expected to create 10,000 to 15,000 construction jobs in both Ontario and Michigan. Not only is this good news for the thousands of contractors, heavy equipment operators, and other industry professionals who will be hired to work on the project, it will also deliver major benefits to the trucking industry by creating a quicker and smoother artery for trade in and out of Canada. But the building of the bridge will not be without its challenges. “From the construct-build perspective, this is a challenging project because we are not allowed, through the process of the environmental assessment, to put piers into the water,” says Mark
Butler, spokesperson, Transport Canada, Windsor Gateway Project. As a result, construction professionals will need to find appropriate locations for the piers on land, plus an area that will be narrow enough to locate a span with the piers far enough apart. “The actual bridge itself will be built through a public-private partnership. The private sector concessionaire … would then go out and contract firms, and logically they are going to be looking at local firms and local workers,” Butler says. “It’s going to be good for Windsor-Essex, Ontario, and Canada. They are going to be sourcing workers and products from both sides of the border.” Once all permits are approved, industry standards indicate that it will take approximately two years to finalize the bridge design through the RFQ/RFP process. Subsequently, it is estimated that construction will take four to five years to complete. However, construction of the Herb Gray Parkway has been progressing steadily since 2011. As of December 2012, approximately 4,100 project staff and subcontractor personnel from over 350 companies, agencies and organizations completed the mandatory training required to work on the parkway, with 98 per cent of subcontracts and 90 per cent of major purchase orders awarded to local or partially local companies.
Ongoing parkway projects include road construction, tunnel and bridge construction (including the pile driving necessary for support), utility and sewer relocation, drainage, and excavation to create the below-grade extension of Highway 401. Upon completion by the summer of 2015, the 11-kilometre parkway will ease the movement of goods and people to and from the Windsor/Detroit border, separate local and international traffic, and eliminate stop-and-go traffic in residential areas. b

12 Ways To Make Roads Safer For Pedestrians Walking is inexpensive, emission-free, uses no fossil fuel, offers important health benefits and, for those without substantially impaired mobility, is accessible regardless of income. Walking is the most fundamental form of mobility. But walking can often also be challenging. Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable in traffic crashes. The number of pedestrians killed on roads is estimated at above 400 000 per year, i.e. around a third of annual road fatalities around the globe. Pedestrian Safety will be the focus of the United
Nations Road Safety Week from 6-13 May 2013. A report released by the International Transport Forum (ITF) at the OECD highlights the role of national governments in improving pedestrian mobility and proposes 12 sets of measures to create safer walking environments. “We need to learn again how to walk. That means learning how to organise the space for walking” said José Viegas, Secretary-General of ITF, on the occasion of the report’s launch. “Urban environments are often making it difficult to enjoy this most fundamental form of moving. This report will
help governments to take the right steps towards better mobility and more liveable cities.” ITF road safety expert Véronique Feypell de la Beaumelle added: “Pedestrians are amongst the road users most vulnerable to traffic injury. It has become highly challenging, especially for older people and children, to cope with the complex, sometimes hostile, traffic conditions that characterise today’s cities and towns.” The study, entitled “Pedestrian Safety, Urban Space and Health”, was prepared by a Working Group of transport experts and urban planners from 19 countries and the World Health Organization under the leadership of the ITF. Key facts on walking from the report:

• Walking represents up to 50% of trips in urban areas. The vitality of a city is closely linked to people being out and about on foot for many purposes. • An 80% drop in pedestrian risk of death is achievable by traffic speed reductions from 50 km/h to 30 km/h. Lowering motorised traffic speeds is a key to improving pedestrian safety. • Around 30% of pedestrians have impaired mobility at any given time – from mothers negotiating traffic with young children to walkers carrying heavy items to older pedestrians with physical handicaps. • Up to 75% of pedestrian injuries result from walkers falling in public spaces. This hazard is in part related to maintenance and design of public spaces, not to a collision with a vehicle. It is underrated and frequently ignored. • Pedestrians suffer severe trauma from road accidents. The magnitude of the consequences is known to be underestimated. Key recommendations of the report: • Integrate the needs of pedestrians at the earliest stages of urban planning projects and transport investments. • Establish clear administrative responsibilities at all levels of government

for coordination of initiatives to promote walking. Improve knowledge about walking: Create a standardised methodology for measuring, reporting and monitoring pedestrian mobility. Create national pedestrian observatories and encourage international comparisons. Treat public transport services as an integrated part of the development of new urban areas. This can support a shift towards higher-density, mixed-use walking and transit-oriented urban environments. Give more space to nonmotorised traffic in city centres: Provide easy, safe, well-maintained pedestrian access to public transport and city centre destinations. and develop car-free areas. Discourage over-use of cars in city centres, and prevent parking on pavements and pedestrian crossings. Develop national pedestrian planning guidance for local administrations.

Plans should routinely consider the impact of projects on pedestrians and cyclists. They should also include targets for future levels of walking. Encourage employers to create incentives for employees to walk and cycle to work. Adopt a “safe system” approach for the design of walking environments. The “safe system” approach recognises that road users make mistakes and requires road design to take account of this to reduce the risk of serious injury. Implement traffic-calming zones and generalise 30 km/h zones in areas with high pedestrian activity. Introduce high-quality road safety education in schools and local community centres. Review current traffic codes to strengthen the legal and financial protection of pedestrians. Commission more research to better understand mobility behaviour and trends. b

With the ending of the global alliance with CNH, Kobelco Construction Machinery will independently rebuild its sales and service network in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, CIS and Africa. It will once again conduct business activities in those markets. Prior to the formation of the global alliance, Kobelco had been operating on its own in those six areas. The KOBELCO brand is especially highly regarded in North America and South America, and those markets have high expectations for Kobelco Construction Machinery’s re-entry. Kobelco Construction Machinery will immediately place on the markets of those six areas its latest models with core features of lower fuel consumption, lower noise and onboard GPS. New models that also comply with the latest exhaust gas regulations will be launched onto the North American and European markets starting from April 2013. Kobelco plans to develop products that meet local needs and enter markets where it was unable to directly play an active role under the global alliance with CNH. It also aims to increase its sales volume and market share that had gone down under the global alliance. By conducting business activities closely at the local level, Kobelco Con-

Bell Appoints Wajax As Its Canadian Partner South African heavy equipment manufacturer Bell Equipment has appointed Wajax Equipment as its distributor and dealer of Bell Articulated Dump Trucks (ADTs) in Canada with immediate effect. It is the first major step in the company’s plans to relaunch the brand in the Americas after twelve years of providing product under another brand. Wajax Equipment is a leading first tier heavy equipment distributor in Canada, with over 32 locations across Canada, with Hitachi Heavy Construction and Mining Equipment being their core business. Hitachi is a common thread, also being Bell Equipment’s distributor in the AsiaPacific region. Commenting on their appointment, Bell Equipment Group Chief Executive, Gary Bell said, “Canada is viewed as a strong ADT market, ranking in the top five largest ADT markets worldwide, so we are very pleased to be associated with the Wajax Group and to have a strong partner to represent our brand and support our product in this territory. They are a well-respected organization, offering new and used quality branded equipment, parts supply, rental equipment, after sales customer support and financing options. Wajax Equipment infrastructure, market performance and business culture are very well aligned with the Bell objectives for a distributor in Canada and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial association.”
Bell Equipment’s Managing Director of Bell UK, Neville Paynter, who heads up the company’s management of the Canadian territory, said that in accordance with marketing agreements already in place, Wajax will initially distribute the 35 to 50 ton range until January 1, 2014, where after the complete range of ADTs will be offered. Said Paynter: “This is the first time our Canadian customers will have on offer our 50-ton truck. The B50, with its 50-ton rated payload, is the world’s largest ADT. More importantly the solid reputation it has earned in harsh mining applications in Africa and Europe over the past eight years means the B50 brings a proven track record to this region. “The Canadian market will be supplied Bell trucks from the company’s German assembly plant. Production at this facility will increase next year to offer greater flexibility to accommodate our Canadian opportunities. Our flexibility will be critical to securing orders and delivering product on time,” he said. Importantly the trucks will be fitted with the Mercedes Benz SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) engine and the filter free Bell@dvantage system, to ensure compliance with emission standards and maximize fuel savings. Bell Equipment, widely regarded as a global ADT specialist, not only has the largest ADTs and the widest range of ADTs in the world, but the company also has a
tradition of pioneering industry firsts. Groundbreaking ADT innovations include standard onboard weighing, keyless ignition, HillAssist, Bin Tip Prevention, Auto Park Application (APA) and standard Turbo Spin Protection. “Understanding that providing quality customer support is as important as providing a quality product, and to facilitate the smooth integration of our brand into Wajax Equipment, we will have technical and product management staff on the ground in January, 2013. We also have a comprehensive training programme for Wajax staff, which starts in early December and includes parts and parts administration training, logistics, techni-
cal warranty and product sales training, as well as technical training by Bell Equipment factory representatives,” he added. Senior Vice President of Wajax Equipment, Brian Dyck said: “Bell ADTs are one of the world’s leading truck lines for construction, quarry and medium duty resource applications and we are excited to offer our customers this new product. The Bell ADT is a perfect fit with our national Hitachi Excavator range and in line with our strategy to expand our product offering. “Wajax estimates the annual size of the Canadian market to be at least 500 units, or $225 million. The geographic scope and capability of Wajax Equipment’s Canada-wide distribution network were central factors in securing distribution rights to this world-class product line and we welcome the opportunity to represent Bell Equipment on Canadian soil.” b

ities. In the six areas that it will re-enter, Kobelco Construction Machinery believes it can increase sales volume and expand market share. Kobelco Construction Machinery is aiming to gain new markets, which it was unable to do under the alliance with CNH. The 10 years of the global alliance divided the world’s marketing areas between Kobelco Construction Machinery and CNH. Kobelco Construction Machinery was devoted to strengthening its businesses in Japan, China, Southeast Asia and Australia. This enabled Kobelco Construction Machinery to focus its management resources on rapidly growing Asia including China and Southeast Asia. The company currently has one plant in Thailand, two in China, and one in India. In May, Kobelco Construction Machinery moved to Itsukaichi, Hiroshima to establish a state-of-the-art production facility and system that improves its compet-
ment drawn on customer needs. As the mother facility, the Itsukaichi Factory provides feedback to the plants in Thailand, China and India. Implementing a detailed sales policy and offering an improved sales and service network, Kobelco Construction Machinery has captured a market share of over 20 percent in Japan and Southeast Asia, 13 percent in China (among foreignaffiliate manufacturers), and 10 percent in Australia. Kobelco Construction Machinery will continue to focus on China, Southeast Asia and India, where high growth is expected to continue. Under the new, nonexclusive licensing and supply agreements, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2013, CNH and Kobelco Construction Machinery are unwinding their joint ownership and equity participations in all the companies formed in connection with their previous alliance and eliminating any geographical exclusivity rights associated with their agreements. b

Hockey rivals Face off in Allstate Canada’s urban Safe Driving Challenge After two months without professional hockey, loyal fans may be itching to find new ways to keep their “friendly” city rivalries alive, so Allstate Insurance Company of Canada offers the Urban Safe Driving Challenge: a head-tohead look at auto collision claims from Allstate Canada customers between July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2012, in five NHL cities (Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal). In the Urban Safe Driving Challenge Western Conference, Calgary beat out its Edmonton rivals, in a result similar to their team’s 201112 season record. Calgary
We’re working on our next issue!
AD DEADLINE: February 15, 2013 5:00 pm
drivers reported fewer collisions per 100 cars, a collision rate of 5.63 per cent, compared to Edmonton’s 6.02 per cent collision rate. Over in the Eastern Conference, not only did Montreal end last season behind both the Leafs and the Senators, according to Allstate Canada claims data, the city finished last to its bitter rivals in collisions frequency: 8.54 per cent for Montreal, 6.12 per cent for Toronto and 6.10 per cent for Ottawa. Three of the urban centres saw their collision rate decrease between 2008-2010 and 2010--2012. Calgary’s rate dropped by 5.63 per cent; Edmonton’s reduced by 4.87 per cent and Toronto’s collision rate decreased by 4.76 per cent. Allstate Canada created the Urban Safe Driving Challenge to generate discussion about driving behaviour in Canada and to help keep roads and communities safer for everyone by emphasizing the importance of safe driving. “We’re pleased to see fewer collisions in three of our Challenge cities. Whether this is because of an increased awareness of the dangers of hand-held devices starting to take effect, drivers reducing their
speed, increased police activity or other influences we don’t yet know, we hope to see this trend continue,” says Saskia Matheson of Allstate Canada. When analyzing the data for the Urban Safe Driving Challenge, Allstate Canada noted a worrying trend about when collisions take place and the severity of injuries that are a result of these crashes. “Drivers may be surprised to learn that our claims data and studies have shown that more fatal collisions happen when conditions are clear and roads are dry,” says Matheson. “Speed is often the issue.” Allstate Canada reminds drivers that collisions can happen at any time of the year, not just in bad weather conditions. “We encourage all drivers to be attentive, sensible and patient behind the wheel to help keep our roads safer for drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists,” adds Matheson. “Keep your hands on the wheel, your eyes on the road, and your mind on the job.” Highlights from the Urban Safe Driving Challenge • While Ottawa drivers had a lower collision rate than Montreal and

Toronto, the city may be headed for the penalty box as its collision rate increased by 3.95 per cent between 2008-2010 and 2010-2012. • Montreal also saw a 3.41 per cent increase. • According to the City of Edmonton Motor Vehicle Collisions report for 2011, someone was either injured or killed in 14.95 per cent of the city’s collisions. The Calgary Police Service reports that 7.43% of collisions resulted in an injury or fatality in 2011. • While Montreal had the highest collision rate in the study, according to the service de police de la Ville de Montreal annual report for 2011, when looking at severity of collisions only 16.68 per cent of collisions reported to the police resulted in an injury or fatality. This percentage is higher in both Ottawa and Toronto. The 2011 Ottawa Road Safety Report shows that someone was injured or killed in 24.92 per cent of reported collisions, and according to the 2011 Annual Statistical Report from the Toronto Police Service, someone was hurt or killed in 19.87 per cent of reported collisions. Data is not available for the other NHL cities, Vancouver or Winnipeg, as these cities are covered by government-run insurance companies. b
