Operation Lifesaver is sponsored by The Railway Association of Canada and Transport Canada and works in co-operation with the Canada Safety Council and provincial safety councils/ leagues. This active, continuing public education program is designed to heighten general public awareness of the potential hazards of rail/highway grade crossings and to urge caution by drivers and pedestrians when in their vicinity.
