Parents have told Healthi Kids that speeding cars make them think twice about letting their children play outside. When drivers travel too fast through a neighborhood, the effects go beyond the possibility of a crash. Speeding can limit where children play, whether families walk or bike, and how connected people feel to their community. A new traffic safety dashboard helps show the magnitude of the problem while giving residents a new tool to advocate for safer streets.

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, this month’s Healthi Kids Culture Corner features a Haudenosaunee message of gratitude, an animated introduction to Native communities across North America, and a free community celebration where families can experience Haudenosaunee culture together.
