What’s New: In Brief (February 22, 2010)

St. Baldrick’s day, which raises money for Canadian cancer research, is being held March. 10 at PJ O’Brien’s in Toronto. 
In solidarity with children fighting cancer, volunteers will shave their heads and raise money through donations.
Jonathan Stephenson, managing director at Guy Carpenter & Company Ltd., will be shaving his head for the occasion (a video of his haircut will be aired at PJ O’Brien’s). To donate to his new “do,” enter his name and ID number  (379153) on the following donation page:

Approximately 80% of all car seats are installed incorrectly, with the most common mistake being the seat or base not secured sufficiently.
Thus, the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) is urging parents to visit their local police station to have their car seat installation inspected.
“Traffic accidents are the Number 1 killer for Canadian children and teens,” IBAO CEO Randy Carroll said in a release. “We are committed to informing Ontario citizens about all of the measures necessary in keeping their families safe.”
Most police departments offer free car seat clinics and inspections.
