The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) is commemorated on the third weekend of November each year – to remember the many millions killed and injured on the world’s roads, together with their families, friends and many others who are also affected. It is also a Day on which we thank the emergency services and reflect on the tremendous burden and cost of this daily continuing disaster to families, communities and countries, and on ways to halt it.

In the family area, brunch will be provided to these families as well as distribution of hampers for those in need. A special Memorial Candlelight Ceremony will be held for the family members of road traffic victims which encourages sharing, bonding and networking to support the healing of the pain and grief that is mutually shared.
There will be a boost for everyone involved with the Cool Zone Area, providing free refreshments and doubles for attendees while children enjoy the Kids Zone with the Fire Truck Bouncy Castle, Face Painting & activities for all ages.
