The exact number of lives saved as a result of the work done by MADD Canada, its predecessor organizations and many other groups cannot be known with absolute certainty. But based on scientific formulas developed for the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, MADD Canada estimates the number of lives saved at 36,642 (between 1982 and 2010). While such numbers provide an important perspective on the progress that has been made, it is important to remember that 43,276 Canadians were killed in alcohol-related crashes in this same period and impaired driving remains the leading criminal cause of death in this country.
