This leaflet provides information on the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of driver fatally injured in motor vehicle accidents in Canadian provinces and territories. The information is derived from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) Fatality Database, which consists of data collected from reports prepared by provincial corroners, medical examiners or investigating police officers. Information has been compiled since 1973 for seven provinces (British Columbia, Alterta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island). In 1985, Nova Scotia was added to the database followed by Newfoundland in 1986. In 1987 similar data from Quebec and the two territories became available, making the database representative of all ten provinces and two territories (twelve jurisdictions).
