Heroes gives young Canadians the tools they need to make smart choices about risk. It tells kids that they are in control o f their own lives and gives them the power to recognize risks in everyday situations such as walking to school, riding in a friend's car, or ski ing. This show offers choices kids can make to predict and prevent injury, and it gives them back the control to make personal decisions about the risks they take. For example, they can choose to buckle up, drive sober, look first, wear appropriate gear, take lessons or train ing course. Heroes is presented by Smartrisk, a national non-profit organization dedi cated to helping Canadians see the risks in their lives and learn to take them in the smartest way possible. It is aim ed at high-risk groups, from teenagers to the elderly.
