Canada
- In May 2003, the Canadian national launch of the World report on violence and health took place during the third Child and Youth Conference. Ethel Blondin-Andrews, then secretary of State for Children and Youth, described the Report as a blueprint for violence prevention and stated that Canada fully endorsed its nine recommendations.
- In June 2004, the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) adopted a violence prevention resolution that acknowledges the World report on violence and health, endorses the World Health Assembly Resolution 49.25 "Preventing violence: a public health priority" and endorses WHO's Global Campaign for Violence Prevention. The Resolution is intended to deepen and reinforce CPHA commitment to and activities aimed at developing a national public health strategy on violence prevention.
